Forecasts

Expeditious (11/4), Rosette (7/2), Kay Ceraar (5/1), Wall Street Crash (11/2), Obama Army (13/2), City Of York (15/2), Albert Cee (9/1), Sunrise Boy (10/1), Finn Star (66/1), Wilpena Pound (150/1)

WALL STREET CRASH made a promising start when runner-up in a Hamilton maiden and can go one better now with this step up in trip looking a plus. Rosette has the form to play a big part if back on song, while Expeditious and newcomers Kay Ceraar and City of York need considering too.
