Forecasts

Poetic Light (7/4), Dragon Girl (7/2), Angelique (8/1), Diamond (9/1), Extrasensory (12/1), Maunganui (14/1), Mojambo (14/1), Baba Boom (16/1), Liars Corner (16/1), Jango Fett (25/1), Annesdale Dancer (33/1), Sucre (50/1), Moorepark Lad (66/1)

Angelique and Maunganui have been up with the leaders in their short careers, but this race may see POETIC LIGHT attempt to make all for in form trainer/jockey combination. Dragon Girl and Diamond could fight it out for the minor honours.
