Forecasts

The Tron (7/2), Ustath (4/1), Nellie French (5/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (11/2), Brandy Station (6/1), Khulu (6/1), Dapper Man (8/1), Freedom Flyer (9/1), Birdie Bowers (10/1), Arzaak (14/1), De Rocker (40/1), Bella's Pearl (50/1), Pacopash (125/1)

USTATH has thrived here this winter and can notch up another victory. Brandy Station is feared, with Dapper Man a potential player off a career-low mark.
