Forecasts

She's A Cracker (9/4), Siren Of Greece (3/1), Masaaken (10/3), Illuminate (11/2), Mauby (7/1), Ocean Forest (14/1), Zernez (20/1), The Sash (22/1), Consol Queen (22/1), Western Dance (33/1), Pucker Up (33/1), Emily Hobhouse (33/1)

MAUBY sets a tall standard if not troubled by this new trip. Illuminate may be the best bet for second, while Consol Queen edges it so far as third place is concerned.
