Forecasts

Western Writer (1/1), Sanitiser (15/8), New Pursuit (7/2), Tropez Power (13/2), Bushfire (7/1), Kaasirr (9/1)

WESTERN WRITER has shaped as if comfortably ahead of his mark on both handicap outings and he's an obvious choice to land this relatively weak race for the grade. Kaasirr is going the right way and ranks as comfortably the biggest danger.
