Forecasts

Obscenity (7/4), Desert Friend (7/2), Justenzia (4/1), Putapoundinthejar (5/1), Baila Conmigo (8/1), Superficial (10/1), Lagoon Nebula (10/1), Radar Ahead (12/1), Bridgehead (14/1), Good Onya Mate (14/1), Mystic Rose (28/1), Almenfee (33/1), Tara Power (50/1), Thru The Gap (80/1)

OBSCENITY rather stands out as an unexposed sort from a top stable and gets the vote to make a successful reappearance. Justenzia will be a threat if reproducing the form she showed when second on her Gowran reappearance on Wednesday. Henry de Bromhead handicap newcomer Good Onya Mate is next on the list.
