Forecasts

Sackett (6/1), Gibbes Bay (13/2), Le Dauphin (13/2), Stage Summit (7/1), Fingerontheswitch (8/1), Will O'The West (10/1), Mab Dab (11/1), Colt Lightning (14/1), Bandon Roc (16/1), Bodega (20/1), Sartene's Son (20/1), Doitforjoe (25/1), Bonnet's Vino (25/1), Local Show (28/1), Popelys Gull (66/1)

Holes can be pocked in several of these, so it may be prudent to side with the consistent SACKETT, who has been climbing the weights but seems sure to be thereabouts at a track and on ground which suits. Le Dauphin has possibilities after a break, while Stage Summit is interesting now he is handicapping with cheekpieces fitted. Mab Dab, Bandon Roc and Sartene's Son are others to consider.
