Forecasts

King Of York (9/2), Nasim (5/1), Bushfire (6/1), Love Your Work (13/2), Written Broadcast (8/1), Cosmos Raj (8/1), Sharvara (11/1), Big Bear Hug (12/1), Star Zinc (16/1), Abnaa (18/1), War Defender (20/1), Eminent Hipster (22/1), The Nail Gunner (40/1), Hezahunk (50/1)

LOVE YOUR WORK shaped well over a trip short of his optimum at Newcastle when last seen and he now has his ideal conditions after a break, so he gets the nod ahead of the likeable Written Broadcast. Bushfire is likely to come on for his reappearance, so he's of interest from a handy mark.
