Forecasts

Epic Fantasy (4/6), Brigand (3/1), City Gent (4/1), Mount Wellington (8/1), Rose Tinted Spirit (11/1), Becker (20/1), Keynote (25/1), Oneroa (28/1), Harbour Pilot (50/1), Hocus Focus (80/1), Balmec (100/1)

Brigand has both a penalty and the widest draw to contend with, which won't be ideal over this short, so he is taken on today with EPIC FANTASY, who is drawn well and has been running as though this drop to 6f might yield a more positive result. City Gent is also poorly drawn but can't be ruled out with the strongest CV going into this and headgear to help. Mount Wellington and Rose Tinted Spirit are others to consider.
