Forecasts

Greaneteen (1/2), Malystic (5/1), Funambule Sivola (7/1), Elixir De Nutz (7/1), Mortlach (50/1)

The race revolves around GREANETEEN, who is established as at least a notch above these and he didn't do a great deal wrong despite failing to retain his Tingle Creek crown when last seen. The battle for second may be more interesting and with doubts over last year's winner Funambule Sivola at present, handicap graduate Malystic could be the answer to that puzzle.
