Forecasts

Analytical Engine (11/4), Roman Emperor (10/3), Dion Baker (4/1), Smasher (9/2), Port Hedland (11/2), Tommytwohoots (8/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (10/1), Genius Mistake (25/1), Daley T (50/1)

ANALYTICAL ENGINE signalled she is ready to go in again when runner-up at Kempton last time and with that form having been franked she gets the vote ahead of in-form pair Smasher (second choice) and Roman Emperor. Sir Rodneyredblood, Port Hedland and Tommytwohoots all need factoring into this open handicap too.
