Forecasts

Bond Spirit (11/8), Pittsburg (3/1), John The Pirate (15/2), Foursome (8/1), Blue Hawaii (10/1), Hammy End (16/1), Mad Artymaise (18/1), Easter Sundae (22/1), Bondi Man (25/1)

BOND SPIRIT scores plenty of points for consistency and in a race lacking strength in depth, he's comfortably the most persuasive option. Better is expected of Pittsburg returned to the AW and he's the main threat, though it will be interesting to see what Blue Hawaii can do now handicapping.
