Forecasts

Nelson Bay (7/2), Kimball O'hara (7/2), Intrepid (5/1), Wylie Riley (11/2), Sundance Kid (11/2), Gold Index (7/1), Aerial Display (10/1), Ultimate Jewel (10/1), Oshakati (11/1), One Irish Rover (18/1), Dockofthebay (25/1), Red Magician (25/1), Knight Warrior (25/1), Iron Will (25/1), Unsolved Riddle (33/1)

NELSON BAY's recent form just about edges this but he will need to be on song. Intrepid can also play a leading part, while Kimball O'Hara might well have a say as well.
