Forecasts

Martin's Brig (5/2), Caracristi (7/2), Sixstar (7/2), Moon Over The Sea (9/2), Ramamaras Boy (10/1), She's Got Bottle (28/1), Van Zant (33/1), Gaazooo (33/1), Barrister Blaster (40/1), Mister Charlie (40/1), Furniture Factors (66/1), Havana Cabana (100/1)

MARTIN'S BRIG arrives in good order and has a handy draw, so he's marginally preferred to the in-form Caracristi, who is partnered by an inexperienced rider and might not be so well positioned as the selection. Moon Over The Sea may also feature, but the race lacks depth overall.
