Forecasts
Marlee Massie (6/4), Transient Bay (5/2), Buffalo Ballet (3/1), Cooper's Friend (7/1)
One of those small field, trappy looking contests where a win for any of the quarter would not be a major surprise. Transient Bay has a bit to prove in this discipline and from this mark, while Buffalo Ballet appears to be the Nick Alexander second string and his other runner. MARLEE MASSIE is selected from a mark that appeals. Cooper's Friend has claims too if he could reproduce the form of his last couple of runs for Charlie Longsdon.
