Forecaster should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. OAKFIELD SATURN (7) proven on her home track and the blinkers go on for the first time. Took good ground off the progressive The Mona Lisa when fourth over this trip at Randwick with the 57kg. Well weighted with Roper's claim and can take up a position from the wide draw. Genuine top-three prospect. PERFECT JUSTICE (9) on the quick backup after covering ground in the run when ninth over the mile at Randwick last Saturday. Gets map favours here and can bounce back. CHARLEROI (4) trained here and ready to peak after he knocked up late when third over 1600m at Randwick in BM78 class. Well drawn and will prove hard to hold out. CAPE BYRON (1) goes well at this track and will push forward with Grima's 3kg claim. Don't underestimate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oakfield Saturn each way.
