Forecasts

Big Wing (85/40), Mount Marcy (5/2), Kettle Hill (11/4), Biggles (7/2), Hundred Isles (33/1), Abnaa (40/1), Sunshine Fun (50/1), Ethel Rose (80/1), Joeljalu (150/1), Jeane De Bellville (250/1)

KETTLE HILL looked a nice prospect last summer and whilst he has to overcome an absence, his trainer is very capable with these types and he makes most appeal. Big Wing looks the biggest danger after a creditable debut here in October. Mount Marcy is an interesting newcomer that can't be ruled out.
