Forecasts

Buddy One (13/8), Carbon King (15/8), Tomjackwilliam (4/1), Seangoell (8/1), Tingarran Express (11/1), Jaariam (12/1), West Of Carrig (16/1), Storm Mahler (16/1), A Different World (25/1), Standupandstandout (33/1), Joeswayornoway (40/1)

This could be a warm race for the grade with BUDDY ONE, Carbon King and Tomjackwilliam all going the right way. The first-named runner reacted well to positive tactics when successful at Fairyhouse on Saturday and gets the nod turned out under a penalty.
