Forecasts

What Adaay (4/1), Rampage (6/1), Init Together (6/1), Pink Socks (7/1), Selective Power (8/1), Finke River (17/2), Double Martini (9/1), Scarlet Dancer (12/1), Wee Pablo (12/1), Sunset Nova (20/1), Praying Mantis (25/1), Darcy's Rock (28/1), Gidwa (50/1), Manwal (50/1), Black Smoke (66/1)

PINK SOCKS ran a belter when runner-up at Gowran 18 days ago and with the winner successful since, the form has a solid look to it. She makes plenty of appeal, with Sunset Nova and Rampage a couple of potential threats.
