Betting Forecast: 11/2 Foxtail Hill, 7/1 Gold Present, 8/1 Its’afreebee, 10/1 Hammersly Lake, 10/1 Two Taffs, 12/1 Bun Doran, 14/1 Mixboy, 14/1 Tully East, 14/1 Last Goodbye, 16/1 Sizing Tennessee, 16/1 Zamdy Man, 16/1 Double W’s, 16/1 Burtons Well, 16/1 Templehills, 20/1 Captain Redbeard, 20/1 Relentless Dreamer, 20/1 All Hell Let Loose, 20/1 Deans Road, 25/1 Killiney Court, 25/1 Powersbomb

Betting tip: Gold Present has been very hit and miss either finishing very close to the pace or nowhere in sight and this is somewhat appealing given how competitive this race is – 20 runners, the biggest stage of all and many last time out winners – Gold Present may be worth a small win-only play.
