Forecasts

Hawthorn (7/4), Red Herring (10/3), Bell Tower (9/2), Purest Bliss (5/1), Close To My Heart (8/1), Viva Le Bleu (12/1), Ascending Heights (16/1), Oratorina (25/1), Wylie's Flame (28/1), Blue Gangsta (40/1), Vi Va Pi Pa (40/1)

VIVA LE BLEU is just about best in at the weights and is a C&D winner. Hawthorn can't hope for much better than second, while Red Herring is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the field.
