Forecasts

Stick With Me Sam (5/4), Orbys River (6/1), Boston Joe (13/2), Neigh Botha (7/1), As Tears Go By (17/2), Limetree Boy (17/2), Sovereign Star (14/1), Chateau Du Lys (28/1)

Quite a few of these are interesting and STICK WITH ME SAM gets the vote to go one place better than on his last 2 outings in the hope he can cut out the mistakes with Sean Bowen up for the first time. Boston Joe is certainly capable of a big run if in the mood, while Sovereign Star could do better now chasing and the well-handicapped As Tears Go By would be appealing if the betting spoke in his favour.
