Forecasts

Fine By Me (8/13), Fenney Brook (15/8), Spike Jones (7/2), Tiger Orchid (7/1), Neil The Legend (66/1)

Verdict

FINE BY ME is going the right way and put up a good effort in defeat at Perth last time, so he's a solid choice to get his head back in front as he continues to progress. Spike Jones signed off last season with a win and is unexposed as a stayer, so he looks a clear threat, while fellow last-time-out winner Fenney Brook can't be discounted.
