Forecasts

Broadford Publican (15/8), Macanogue (16/5), Starman (6/1), Nibbles (8/1), Toor Moon (8/1), Sir Prince Edmond (10/1), Be Fierce (14/1), A Fortune Out West (20/1), Thornleigh Frank (20/1), That's About Right (25/1), Ferrybridge (28/1), Coco Lightning (28/1), Great Island (33/1), Black Field (80/1), The Belmont Boys (125/1), Comeragh Belle (200/1), Sandy Hill Toner (250/1)

An open-looking maiden with the vote going to BROADFORD PUBLICAN, who should be all the better for a recent run and remains open to improvement now dropping back in trip. Sir Prince Edmond and Starman head the dangers.
