Forecasts

Otter Moon (2/1), Generous Day (9/4), The Grinder (5/2), Toboggan's Fire (3/1), Du Soleil (4/1), Drums Of War (9/2)

Although there is slight concern over the recent form of the stable GENEROUS DAY makes a fair bit of appeal given his form at the track with cut in the ground now that he reverts to this trip. Otter Moon is feared from the top of the list, while Drums Of War may continue to improve and Toboggan’s Fire is not ruled out.
