Forecasts

Geelong (4/1), Mitigator (4/1), Frankfreya (4/1), Storm Valley (5/1), Smart Charger (13/2), Largo Bay (13/2), Albus Anne (8/1), Hildegard (9/1), Pysanka (16/1), Goodwood Vision (18/1), Delvey (20/1), Extinction (33/1), Bear Force (40/1), Seattle King (66/1)

GEELONG can be forgiven a slightly below-par run last time and can snap a losing run back down in trip with Tom Marquand doing the steering. Largo Bay should make his presence felt on the back of a good third at Windsor. Storm Valley is also respected for the Andrew Balding/Oisin Murphy combination.
