Forecasts

Diddy Man (6/4), Pessoa (10/3), Drafted (4/1), Penny's Spirit (9/2), Bungle Bay (11/2), Barney's Bay (16/1), Alabama Belle (18/1), Diamondsinthesand (33/1), Dynamite Katie (33/1), Too Much Trevor (40/1)

A few with chances but multiple C&D scorer PESSOA arrives at the top of his game so is taken to quickly resume winning ways and fend off fellow course specialist Bungle Bay. Diamondsinthesand and Diddy Man appeal as the pick of the rest.
