Forecasts

Lecale's Destiny (5/4), Blazing Skies (9/4), Pinehurst (7/1), Hector Berlioz (15/2), Sweeping Statement (10/1), Luck Of The Dice (25/1), Gran Roque (28/1), Carnival Girl (33/1), The Gray Chapter (40/1), Untouched (100/1), Carslake (150/1), Khattaat (200/1), Tommythelongfella (200/1), Spiritual Grey (200/1)

BLAZING SKIES shaped well on debut (form which is proving strong) and built on that effort when runner-up at Gowran next time. She can continue her progress to get off the mark at the third attempt, with Lecale's Destiny the main danger given the promise he had shown on his first start. Sweeping Statement completes the shortlist.
