Forecasts

Vellner (11/8), Headabovetherest (10/3), Majestic Newlaw (4/1), Retirement Beckons (6/1), Farhhfromforgotten (11/1), Penelope's Sister (50/1)

HEADABOVETHEREST has made a positive start for Rebecca Menzies and, after finding one too good at Newcastle last time, he's capable of going one better in a thin race. Vellner is a danger dropping in grade and Retirement Beckons can't be dismissed.
