Forecasts

Big Baby Bull (13/8), Is That Love (2/1), Tai Sing Yeh (7/2), Sin E Shekells (11/1), Yester (18/1), Zig Zag Zyggy (22/1), Nine Tales (22/1), Elephant John (33/1), Irresistible You (33/1)

BIG BABY BULL turned in his best effort of the season in a useful contest at Gowran last time so is very much of interest now dropping back down in grade. Is That Love and Tai Sing Yeh are considered the main threats in that order.
