Forecasts

Boisterous (11/4), Ridgerunner (5/1), Goliath Heron (11/2), Mercantour (7/1), Gallic Chief (7/1), Alabama Anna (15/2), Samuel Salt (8/1), Sudden Star (9/1), May Queen (9/1), Vegas Hi Rise (10/1)

GOLIATH HERON has been operating at a solid level lately and will probably take the beating. Boisterous ought to go well too, while Samuel Salt can fight it out for minor honours.
