Forecasts

Biplane (9/5), Runaround Sioux (2/1), Lady Wingalong (9/2), Bazball (6/1), Starsong (15/2), The Real McKay (11/1), Scarlet Lady (18/1), Green Tax (80/1), Belle Flora (80/1)

BIPLANE scored in good style at Newcastle on Tuesday and has obvious claims if turned out quickly under a penalty. Bazball took a step back in the right direction starting out for this yard when fourth at Newcastle so is feared most ahead of Lady Wingalong.
