Forecasts

Katiymann (7/4), Aussie Valentine (7/2), Jon Ess (13/2), Atlas (8/1), Tremendous Leap (10/1), Polly Glide (12/1), Wisdom Mind (14/1), Swiss Cottage (14/1), Red Avenger (16/1), Georgian Bay (16/1), Carried (16/1), Harlow (50/1)

With Aussie Valentine, Carried and Polly Glide all vying for the lead from wide draws, the trio's early speed could set the race up for the Mick Halford-trained KATIYMANN to improve on his third of 14 in this contest 12-months ago. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Wisdom Mind, winner of this race last year, Atlas and Jon Ess, can battle for the minors. The 'old man' of the party, Red Avenger, could go well at a price back at this track.
