Forecasts

Dr Patrick (5/2), Pro Bono (7/2), Numidia (4/1), Mads Black Eights (15/2), Spirituoso (8/1), Power Drive (10/1), Never Back Down (11/1), Stormy Jenn (18/1), Ragtime Red (18/1), Eastern Racer (25/1), Fancy Red Diamond (25/1), Two Two Time (33/1), The Peckhampouncer (33/1), Tynan (80/1), Kayleigh Grace (100/1), Retro Flame (100/1), Mornington Bay (100/1)

PRO BONO made a positive start over hurdles for his current stable and he's nicely handicapped back on the Flat, so he takes marginal preference over Dr Patrick, who usually goes well at this track. Numidia, who ran well at Down Royal recently, can also get involved if taking to polytrack.
