Forecasts

Brideswell Lad (11/4), Our Bobby (7/2), Jakie Mac (13/2), Kellie's Dream (15/2), Brianna Lily (10/1), The Mass Path (10/1), Sea Road Fill (11/1), Florey Spud (11/1), Woodie Wango (11/1), Rockview Roman (12/1), Phils Choice (12/1), Broken Bond (14/1), Smallcraftwarning (33/1), Paula's Prayer (40/1), Talk Of The Town (66/1)

BRIDESWELL LAD is clearly a better chaser than hurdler but his mark reflects that so he's worth siding with. The Mass Path is a sure-fire improver now handicapping, with Rockview Roman another to consider.
