Forecasts

Gultari (7/2), Rusheen Boy (9/2), Bint Havana Gold (5/1), Em Jay Kay (11/2), Sir Rodneyredblood (8/1), Katie G (9/1), Kodi Red (11/1), Sassy Redhead (11/1), Zachary (16/1)

BINT HAVANA GOLD has been shaping like she's ready to capitalise on a reduced mark and this race could set up perfectly for her, so she gets the nod. Gultari and Sir Rodneyredblood are both players but there's a chance they'll take each other on for the lead.
