Forecasts

Seskin Flash (3/1), Joueuse Royale (9/2), Caesar Rock (5/1), Beggars Rock (13/2), Pipers Boreen (8/1), Elusive Guy (12/1), Therellbguddaysyet (12/1), Mount Shenshan (12/1), Starzov (12/1), Wellington Hill (14/1), Karacole (22/1), Dee's Getaway (50/1), Ask The Bookie (80/1), Kaikoura (125/1)

JOUEUSE ROYALE showed plenty over hurdles and the fact that he was placed boths starts in maiden points augurs well ahead of this chase debut. The 6-y-o gets the nod ahead of Seskin Flash, who did the job well when opening his hurdles account recently and will be a threat if taking to fences at the first attempt. Caesar Rock is also shortlisted.
