Forecasts

Partisan Hero (10/3), Skontonovski (5/1), Pinball Wizard (11/2), Bucky Larson (13/2), Pink Socks (15/2), Pascalia (10/1), Danesfort (11/1), Monzoon (16/1), Coviglia (16/1), Plankton (16/1), Lisabetta (18/1), Samhradh (20/1), Hale Bopp (22/1), Qaabil (33/1), Doctor Grace (40/1), Nyota (50/1), Nancy Angel (50/1), Rock Basher (66/1), Hurricane Helen (66/1)

SKONTONOVSKI has a handy turf mark to exploit and having not been seen to best effect at Bellewstown last week, he's well worth another chance. Pinball Wizard and Partisan Hero head the opposition.
