Forecasts

Grant Wood (3/1), Tremblant (6/1), Minnesota Lad (6/1), Snash (13/2), Snuggle (13/2), Vince Lombardi (7/1), Cold Stare (7/1), Ray Vonn (7/1), Trilby (15/2), Thornaby Pearl (8/1), Hallowed Time (10/1), Master Dandy (10/1), The Cruising Lord (12/1), Animate (14/1), Harry's Halo (14/1), Kodi Red (18/1)

COLD STARE returned to form and hit the line strong at Hamilton 9 days ago and, if the pace is solid, he may be able to go one better in an open race. Ray Vonn is an obvious danger on the back of a reappearance win and Trilby is one to bear in mind dropping in grade.
