Forecasts

South Shore (4/6), Cover Point (15/8), Nazron (10/3), Bluebell Grove (12/1), Ziggy's Missile (16/1), Staincliff (25/1), Port Hedland (33/1), Talking Rubbish (150/1)

SOUTH SHORE shaped well on his first run when runner-up at Ripon and can improve sufficiently to deny Cover Point who holds the edge on form and rates a big threat dropped back to maiden company. Nazron is proving a consistent sort and can't be discounted either.
