Forecasts

Pinjarra (7/4), Flavius Titus (4/1), Mission In Malton (9/2), Colour Code (6/1), Willingly (11/1), Dandy Lichious (11/1), Eldeyaar (14/1), Sadiiki (50/1), Duchess Tattoo (50/1)

WILLINGLY is chanced down in class back over 6f in re-fitted blinkers. Pinjarra showed good form at this track last week, racing freely over 7f, suggesting this shorter trip could suit. Dandy Lichious often disappoints but cheekpieces returning might help back on the all-weather.
