Forecasts

Flaminger (13/8), Ga Law (9/4), Dustin Des Mottes (11/4), Little Light (7/2), Waikiki Waves (6/1), Havana Hermano (15/2), Away For Slates (9/1)

Expensive French-recruit GA LAW created a good impression when easily beating his 2 rivals (including subsequent-winner Getaway Trump) on chase debut/return here 3 weeks ago and an opening mark of 128 is potentially lenient. Little Light ended last season on the upgrade and is next best ahead of Havana Hermano, who has responded well to headgear.
