Forecasts

Livingston Range (3/1), Turn Up The Beat (3/1), Sam's Xpress (7/2), My Girl Sioux (8/1), Babyface (8/1), Rattletheonionbag (17/2), Cuban Grey (11/1), Leblon Girl (14/1), Nordic Passage (22/1), No Speed Limit (25/1), Havana Notion (40/1), Happy Henry (100/1), Clarabell (125/1), Magna Beauty (200/1)

LIVINGSTON RANGE was beaten in the C&D handicaps won by re-opposing pair My Girl Sioux and Sam's Xpress respectively in November, but he has clear prospects of reversing the placings with those rivals on these revised terms. Moreover, the 7-y-o left the strong impression that his turn is near when third here last time. Turn Up The Beat put in a good shift back at this course last month and he is a threat, while Sam's Xpress is third choice ahead of Cuban Grey.
