Forecasts

Rock Melody (5/6), Caryatid (4/1), Piffle (13/2), Breezy Storm (15/2), Tamarama (9/1), An Angel's Dream (16/1), A La Francaise (33/1), Miss Down Under (33/1), Rita Rana (150/1), D'craicofdawn (200/1)

ROCK MELODY bounced back to her debut winning form when second at Windsor 7 weeks ago, and she sets a good standard, with the step up in trip likely to suit. Caryatid is bred to be well above average at around this trip as a 2-y-o and she looks the main danger on paper, ahead of another newcomer, Tamarama.
