Forecasts

Are We Dreaming (6/5), Shoebox King (11/2), Upward Curve (6/1), Ali Babes (7/1), It Might Be You (8/1), Diamondsinthesand (12/1), Creative Power (12/1), Finke River (16/1), Un Bacio Ancora (18/1), Butterfly Stream (18/1), Lalechko (28/1), Ballysax Lil' Mick (40/1), Mrs Shelby (66/1), Wait A Little (66/1), Vernotstoppen (100/1), Jinglers Bridge (200/1), Global Strike (250/1)

ARE WE DREAMING holds a clear edge on form and is taken to open her account dropped in trip having not got home when runner-up over 7f at Down Royal. Both Diamondsinthesand and Upward Curve look to have better days ahead of them and are taken to chase home the selection in that order.
