Forecasts

Kosometsuke (6/4), Noble Guest (7/2), Whizz By (9/2), Penelope Valentine (11/1), Warrnambool (12/1), Bear Island (14/1), Captain Harry (16/1), Jersey Maverick (20/1), Moostar (20/1), Spirited Dancer (22/1), Beltadaay (25/1), Kazakh (50/1), Mighty Ruler (80/1), Reporter (100/1)

Roger Varian's Kodiac gelding KOSOMETSUKE is fancied to take a sizeable step forward now venturing into handicap company for the first time so gets the nod in a very open-looking contest. Whizz By is weighted to go well and heads the list of dangers, while Warrnambool, Moostar, Spirited Dancer and Penelope Valentine all need factoring in too.
