Forecasts

Smart Charger (3/1), Wannabe Brave (7/2), Ship To Shore (4/1), Solid Silver (9/2), Turing (10/1), Fair Dinkum (11/1), Sydney Seabreeze (18/1), Anisoptera (25/1), Smith (40/1), Easy Equation (50/1)

A few with chances but Alan King's SMART CHARGER rates the pick of the weights on the back of his very good Kempton second so gets the nod. C&D scorer Ship To Shore heads the list of dangers, with Sydney Seabreeze and Wannabe Brave well in the mix too.
