Forecasts

Off You Go (10/11), Mick The Jiver (11/4), West Coast Time (7/2), Notwhatiam (7/1), Trump Sixteen (12/1), Winter Breeze (25/1), Oh Me Oh My (33/1), Attalco (50/1)

Verdict

Top-weight Notwhatiam will be a threat if replicating his last run in a better race and Trump Sixteen has prospects on his handicap debut, but the interesting one is OFF YOU GO, who ran well on his first start in a handicap and is open to enough improvement to be able to take care of his rivals on these terms. Attalco would be a threat on his French form, but has shown little since joining this stable.
