Forecasts

Lover's Moon (11/8), Mountain Dreams (7/4), Harmonious (9/2), Dulcima (16/1), Brazen Hussy (25/1)

LOVER'S MOON's best efforts to date have come at around this trip and she earns the vote to come out on top in the hope the fibresand surface doesn't pose a problem. Harmonious, starting out for Scott Dixon, and Mountain Dreams head up the dangers.
