Forecasts

Wichahpi (5/2), Crack The Kode (4/1), Stash The Cash (5/1), Vince L'Amour (11/2), Sergeant Mayer (7/1), Big Blue Boy (11/1), Yiengaa (12/1), Ninety Nine (12/1), Drinkable (18/1), Midnight Force (25/1), Lady Of The Garr (33/1)

WICHAHPI enjoyed a good first season and is taken to start 2024 in style with the form of her closing Newcastle second looking strong. Stash The Cash appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping so is next on the list ahead of the handily-weighted Ninety Nine.
