Forecasts

Gardiners Hill (5/4), Miss Oscarose (9/4), Brice Canyon (5/1), La Paimpolaise (10/1), Clonusker (14/1), Ma'ire Rua (25/1), Finnegan's Garden (33/1), Citadel (33/1), Bonnie Major (100/1)

Verdict

This presents GARDINERS HILL with a live chance of landing his four-timer. A third of the field are out of the weights, and only Miss Oscarose and La Paimpolaise have shown anything like enthusiasm in their recent outings.. The former won last time out but still has a stiff test on the terms of the race. Clonusker is the best of the rest. 1. Gardiners Hill 2. La Paimpolaise 3. Miss Oscarose
