Forecast Prices: Goodie Two Shoes 11/4, Happy Pharoah 13/2, New Zealand 7/2, Chally Chute 4/1, Leinster 12/1, Arouet 16/1, Layfayette 12/1, Uxmal 8/1, Thats Amore 20/1, Bubble Gum 16/1, Cristal Clere 25/1, Sunchart 20/1
Although Melbourne Cup second GOODIE TWO SHOES would arguably prefer further, she is nicely treated at these weights. A Group 3 winner at Fairyhouse last July, the Joseph O'Brien-trained mare will probably have a repeat bid in Australia as her main target, but she shouldn't be far away if running to her best. Although Chally Chute would also enjoy a stiffer test of stamina, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained eight-year-old would hold leading claims if the forecast rain arrives. Happy Pharoah, who ran a career best at Leopardstown recently, is another who should have every chance.
Prediction: 1st Goodie Two Shoes, 2nd Chally Chute, 3rd Happy Pharoah
