Forecasts

Ragin Cajun (5/2), Flemensreva (3/1), More Info (7/2), Close Enough (9/2), Brianna Lily (5/1), Duncarrig (5/1), Walk In Time (8/1), Well Polly (17/2), Sean Says (9/1), Longhouse Star (10/1), Gigantamax Eevee (12/1), Chasing Chances (14/1), College Causeway (14/1), Speed Gang (33/1), Mizuma (33/1), Tell Her Nothing (66/1)

Having landed an 18-runner event at Listowel with something in hand last week, RAGIN CAJUN is well worth a chance to go in again despite the penalty. Most of the others have a bit to prove but More Info and Walk In Time should give their running.
