Forecasts

Marracudja (8/11), Mick Thonic (13/8), Deadly Approach (16/1), Aminabad (20/1)

Verdict

MICK THONIC receives weight from all his rivals here and can get his chasing career back on track by breaking his maiden at the eighth attempt in this. The selection finished runner-up here over further in October and can get the better of top weight Marracudja who bled last time out and is likely to start a short price for this contest. Aminabad was a promising horse a couple of years ago and looks capable of winning the race for third place ahead of Deadly Approach.
  1. Mick Thonic
