Forecasts

Emeric (2/1), Yokkell (4/1), Seattle Creek (4/1), Roman Bull (4/1), Garrick Painter (5/1), Pachmena (20/1), Snapius (28/1), Bright Start (50/1), Hangry (66/1)

YOKKELL found one too good in her hat-trick bid last time but she wasn't seen to best effect and this thriving mare is worth a chance to resume winning ways in the hope that the pace is solid. Seattle Creek is a major player if ready to go following a year off the track and Emeric can't be ruled out.
