Forecasts

Moonbow (6/5), Maggies Boy (2/1), Whatudoing (15/2), Yapper Hill (12/1), Mayor Kingston (12/1), Just Keeps Rolling (16/1), Ryebridge (20/1), Masterminding (150/1), Amdoinmebest (200/1), Uncle Al (200/1)

MAGGIES BOY has some fair form to his name so is fancied to finally get off the mark at the chief expense of Moonbow who can build on his recent hurdling debut third at Perth. Hurdling newcomers Just Keeps Rolling and Yapper Hill can't be discounted either, especially if the market vibes are positive.
