Forecasts

Plus Point (6/5), Robusto (5/4), Cloudy Rose (5/1), Sword Beach (7/1), On The Right Track (12/1), Still Standing (33/1), On The Nose (150/1)

Last-time-out winning 3-y-os ROBUSTO and Plus Point are expected to dominate this with preference for the Sir Mark Prescott runner given he escapes a penalty for last week's easy Newcastle win.
