Forecasts

Howzak (11/8), Port Noir (9/2), Em Jay Kay (9/2), Rhubarb (11/2), Vape (7/1), Rose Fandango (16/1)

HOWZAK has arguably been a touch unfortunate to have bumped into well-handicapped rivals here on his last 2 starts and can deservedly get his head back in front now. Vape made a good return from a break when second here 16 days ago and is feared most ahead of last year's winner Port Noir.
