Lorton (4/5), Hawayel (4/1), Stay Classy (5/1), Princes Des Sables (10/1), Pair of Savannas (12/1), Caramel Curves (12/1), Pinarella (20/1), Forcetoreckon (25/1), Schnapps (33/1), Champagne On Rocks (40/1)

HAWAYEL should appreciate the drop in class following an outing in a Group contest last time and she is taken to break her maiden in this opening event.. Lorton has made a good start to her career and can finish runner-up for the third consecutive start while Princes Des Sables, third last time out can round out the placings.
