Forecasts

Blonde Act (6/5), Jaspero (3/1), Track Commander (6/1), Flinders Range (17/2), Suryavarman (17/2), Ivalo's Prince (10/1), Grand Destiny (11/1), Essos (18/1), Honest Quest (25/1), Royal Shindig (25/1), Bit Of Fun (40/1), Light Without (50/1)

JASPERO couldn't justify market support last time out, but still appeals as the likeliest winner here. Flinders Range is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Grand Destiny also looks good for a place.
