Forecasts

Sabrina Fairchild (7/2), Family Favourite (7/2), Diamond Girl (15/2), Big Sky Country (10/1), Queen Mercury (10/1), Gimme A Lullaby (10/1), Flying The Star (12/1), New Orleans (12/1), Yata (14/1), Casa Rosada (16/1), Airbuzz (16/1), Arianos Spinner (18/1), Shaken Not Stirred (22/1), Birdwatcher (22/1), My Elouise (25/1)

YATA is interesting on her handicap debut. Flying The Star looks the most dangerous opponent, although Big Sky Country is not out of it.
