Forecasts

Shumaker (9/10), Crazyheart (5/2), Dandjira (7/1), Trenchtown Rock (8/1), Quay Melodie (16/1), Jack Wade (20/1), Stander (33/1), Punters Poet (33/1)

Verdict

If SHUMAKER handles the expected testing ground then he has every chance of landing his hat-trick given his seemingly progressive profile and the confidence he must be feeling. Trenchtown Rock is a course and distance specialist and has been running well over slightly further suggesting the bottomless ground might not inconvenience him too much; he should run his usual consistent race. Dandjira is a slightly unknown quantity but is well regarded and certainly capable of winning a similar race to this.
  1. Shumaker
