Forecasts

Nuttorridge (5/1), Amazing Amy (5/1), Sittingonthefence (5/1), Delias Pet (6/1), Ballagh Star (13/2), Roman Parish (15/2), Getaway Master (8/1), Blue In The West (9/1), Will It Be You (10/1), Winter Carnival (14/1), Leading Flame (16/1), Jacks Fancy (18/1), Sefton Warrior (18/1), Milfordfourthree (18/1), Any Day Now (20/1), Minnie Beets (20/1), Added Bonus (25/1), Zingara Lass (33/1), Great Rainbow (66/1), Laishann (66/1), Ozark Thunder (100/1)

The vote goes to NUTTORRIDGE, who has been knocking on the door of late and perhaps the first-time blinkers will help eke out a little more. Delias Pet caught the eye when fourth at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago (unlucky not to finish closer) and she is next on the list ahead of Amazing Amy, who has found just one too good on each of her last two starts. Jacks Fancy and Great Rainbow are both open to improvement now handicapping.
