Forecasts

Definiteadare (5/2), King Ferdinand (7/2), Goodnightngodbless (4/1), Harvey's Quay (5/1), Kingston Kid (5/1), Holiday In Kerry (11/2), Galon De Vauzelle (6/1), Lake Chad (8/1), Robinstown (10/1), Avec Espoir (11/1), Broken Ice (12/1), Centurion Steel (20/1)

HARVEY'S QUAY has shaped better than the result on occasion over fences and, back in this sphere after a two-month break, he's worth chancing if the market speaks in his favour. Definiteadare capitalised on a much-reduced mark with plenty in hand last time and he's regarded as a big danger, while Goodnightngodbless can't be discounted.
