Forecasts

Amber Kite (11/4), Bondi Dreams (10/3), Star Image (9/2), Dense Star (9/2), Tullypole Annie (5/1), Sheer Chance (9/1), Moonhall Girl (10/1), Sea Sessions (12/1), Shambara (16/1), No Stopping Her (20/1), Dazzling Spirit (40/1)

BONDI DREAMS has progressed with each run in maidens and appears to have been handed a fair opening mark, so looks to have plenty going for her. Amber Kite met some trouble in a valuable novice event at Naas last week, so isn't one to write off, while Sheer Chance is another likely to do better now handicapping.
