Verdict
Forecast runs in this lowly grade for the first time but he hasn’t been in the best of form and would have preferred a bit further. WEEBILL has won a seller and a claimer this season under Daire Davis, who takes off 7lb again. He’s preferred to stablemate Hokelami who, along with Captain Jack and Ring The Moon, has plenty to find at the weights. Malina Ocarina is having a first outing since second in a handicap here last July.
