Forecasts

Coko Beach (15/8), Foxy Jacks (3/1), Stumptown (10/3), Genois (10/3), Knockiel Synge (8/1), Singing Banjo (8/1), Cash Back (10/1), Three By Two (10/1), Fameaftertheglory (14/1), Longhouse Poet (14/1), Roi Mage (14/1), Artic Pearl (16/1), Enjoy D'allen (22/1), Vital Island (33/1), Blast Of Koeman (40/1), Subset (50/1), A Rated (66/1)

Many of these ran in the incident-packed La Touche Cup on Thursday with STUMPTOWN probably the one to take out of the race with a view to today as he was going nicely when bumped and unseating rider. Coko Beach failed to get the job done but is still a threat, with Cash Back another to take seriously at this level.
