Forecasts

Allofmelovesallofu (3/1), Townie Mac (4/1), Buthelezi (6/1), Vanderbilt (13/2), Dark Amber (7/1), Altaira (8/1), King Athelstan (9/1), Solveig's Song (9/1), Valerie's Memory (16/1), Dragon Tattoo (16/1), Sky Bandit (50/1), Rapid Rise (50/1)

Quite a few of these make little appeal although it will be interesting to see which one of the Gary Moore trio is favoured by the market with Buthelezi potentially very well treated down in trip on his second run for the yard and Sky Bandit making her handicap debut two potential market movers. Allofmelovesallofu deserves to win a race and with Jason Watson doing the steering will be popular and Vanderbilt has shown the ability to win a race without quite having the finishing heart to go with it. TOWNIE MAC hasn’t as yet shown that he’s the finished article but this longer trip will help on that score and he give the nod in a tricky finale.
