Forecasts

Dysart Dynamo (4/5), Captain Guinness (3/1), Riviere D'etel (5/1), Saint Roi (10/1), Now Where Or When (40/1)

CAPTAIN GUINNESS landed this Grade 2 a year ago and Henry de Bromhead's high-class chaser is taken to go in once more and edge out Dysart Dynamo who rates a big threat on the book. Riviere d'Etel can't be discounted either back chasing with his yard among the winners.
