Forecasts

Lucky Lodge (3/1), Chookie Dunedin (10/3), End Zone (6/1), Lezardrieux (13/2), Dana Forever (10/1), Bahuta Acha (10/1), Iva Reflection (11/1), Ventura Express (14/1), Gleeds Girl (20/1), Grey Galleon (25/1), Equally Fast (25/1), Nezar (40/1)

IVA REFLECTION hasn't won since making a successful debut in 2019, but his latest run is easily excused and he's fallen to an interesting mark, so he's put forward as the answer. Bahuta Acha should remain competitive if the headgear continues to have a positive effect., with Dana Forever and the in-form Lucky Lodge others to consider.
