Forecasts

Lightning Approach (4/7), Sun Magic (13/8), Tia Dalma (18/1), La Equinata (33/1), Jacquelina (125/1)

LIGHTNING APPROACH made a taking start when going in at Windsor and is taken to defy her 7 lb penalty at the chief expense of Kevin Ryan's debutante Sun Magic, who is worth monitoring in the betting. Tia Dalma appeals as the pick of the remainder.
