Forecasts

Cassy O (10/3), Ralphy Boy Two (9/2), Temper Trap (11/2), My Ukulele (6/1), Star Of St James (17/2), Donnelly's Rainbow (9/1), Merricourt (12/1), Alioski (14/1), Chinese Spirit (14/1), Beverley Bullet (14/1), Oriental Lilly (14/1), Lucky Violet (33/1), Forever A Lady (40/1)

An ultra-competitive finale with the vote in favour of RALPHY BOY TWO. A steadily progressive 3-y-o handicapper on balance, it's feasible to think 11f stretched his stamina at Hamilton latest and he appeals as being on a handy mark. Donnelly's Rainbow, My Ukulele and Merricourt head up the dangers, in that order, though Cassy O is now highly respected after his career-best win here on Thursday.
