Forecasts
Pat's Pick (6/5), Velvet Elvis (11/8), Mercury Lane (9/2), Johngus (16/1), The Cool Dude (40/1), Emily Roebling (80/1), Twelve Olympians (200/1), Tellemnothing (200/1)
Only a few of these make any serious appeal, with PAT'S PICK taken to come out on top and build on his runner-up effort at Down Royal a couple of months ago. He was staying on from 3 out that day and this step up in trip should be right up his street. Velvet Elvis and Mercury Lane look the major threats on paper and can chase the selection home in that order.
