Forecasts

Showy (7/2), Geelong (4/1), On The Right Track (4/1), Major Major (4/1), Arenas Del Tiempo (6/1), Between The Covers (8/1), Fair Dinkum (10/1), Merry Minister (10/1), Change Of Fortune (11/1), Vitalline (25/1), For Real (100/1), Lesleyanne (200/1)

A tight-knit handicap but GEELONG arrives at the top of his game so edges the vote off a still handy-looking mark following his good Newcastle second. In-form pair On The Right Track and Change of Fortune bring solid credentials to the table too and can chase home Paul & Oliver Cole's 4-y-o in that oder. Major Major completes the shortlist.
