Forecasts

Whisky On The Hill (2/1), Tea Olive (10/3), Picture Of A City (9/2), Majestic Hills (11/2), Show No Fear (15/2), One Boss (11/1), Rough And Tough (20/1), Dreamingofdelaney (33/1), Kami (40/1)

WHISKY ON THE HILL overcame a poor track position when successful here a fortnight ago and his revised mark looks well within range. Tea Olive also arrives on the up and is a threat, along with Show No Fear.
