Forecasts

Chief Black Robe (2/5), Dan's Chosen (11/2), Reserve Tank (13/2), Mr Mafia (10/1)

Just the 4 runners and this represents a good opportunity for CHIEF BLACK ROBE to regain the winning thread back at a track where he enjoyed a couple of wide-margin wins earlier this summer. He can get the better of veteran Mr Mafia, who capitalised on some mercy from the assessor here in July and is double the selection's age. Reserve Tank can fill out third spot.
