Forecasts

Porsche Lad (5/2), Deed Pole (5/1), Gardone (7/1), Nusra (15/2), Ranko Express (8/1), Gallo Dell Cielo (17/2), Doctor Grace (10/1), Tara Power (16/1), Waystar (20/1), Fine Print (20/1), Lord Talbot (28/1), T Or Coffey (33/1), Guest Star (33/1), Sarmiento Power (66/1)

WAYSTAR wasn't seen to best effort in the C&D handicap won by Gallo Dell Cielo when last seen in December and, granted a stronger pace to aim at this time, she may well reverse those placings. Nusra thoroughly deserves to get her head back in front and cabe expected to give another good account, while Porsche Lad made a winning handicap debut here recently and he needs considering.
