Forecasts

Galunggung (8/15), Fox's Fancy (5/2), That One (11/1), French Highlands (16/1), Audreys Pride (66/1), Vallamorey (100/1)

Assuming GALUNGGUNG is raring to go following a 14-month absence, he will take plenty of stopping. The horse he chased home on his Rules debut at Kelso is a pretty useful type and it's unlikely that there's anything of a similar calibre lurking amongst his five rivals in this contest. Fox's Fancy is the clear pick for forecast purposes given what she showed in bumpers last season, while That One may well pick up minor place money before presumably making the switch to handicaps.
