Forecasts

Stormalong (11/4), La Hacienda (10/3), Slip Jig (4/1), Evening's Empire (5/1), Lucky Viv (7/1), Wudya (8/1), Cash The Cheque (8/1), Cruisin Susan (17/2), Maid On The Moon (12/1), Red Night Sky (80/1), Tasmanian Girl (80/1)

A lot with chances but LA HACIENDA rates just the pick of the weights so is fancied to regain winning ways at the chief expense of the progressive Stormalong. Cash The Cheque and Lucky Viv also need factoring into this very open handicap.
