Forecasts

Cody's Wish (4/5), Practical Move (3/1), Zozos (9/2), National Treasure (6/1), Algiers (6/1), Charge It (9/1), Skippylongstocking (10/1), Stage Raider (20/1), Shirl's Bee (50/1)

This is a different test to last year but CODY'S WISH stands out on form and can win this race once again. 3-y-o National Treasure could be the danger, ahead of Zozos.
