Forecasts

Straidnahanna (9/4), Nortonthorpelegend (10/3), Boric (7/2), No Planning (7/2), Morning Royalty (14/1), Earthmoves (14/1)

A tricky little contest in which most look evenly matched. However, STRAIDAHANNA, who won this in 2016, seems to pull out something extra at this course and just edges the vote of confidence once more. The selection's stablemate No Planning also appeals as one that is well enough handicapped to suggest he's primed to strike. Boric also appeals as a player at this level when the best of his recent form is taken into account.
