Forecasts

Wagga Wagga (6/5), Togai (13/2), Gibside (15/2), Casi Crudo (17/2), Bright Blue (9/1), Golden Vintage (9/1), Bellshill Beauty (18/1), Qweldryk (22/1), Karratha (22/1), Cognocenti (25/1), Herbertandflorence (25/1), Overdraft (40/1)

GIBSIDE was better than the result when stepped up to this trip last time and remains one who should have a win in him off this sort of mark. Wagga Wagga made a promising start in handicaps at Salisbury and rates an obvious danger with William Buick doing the steering. Bright Blue also makes the shortlist.
