Forecasts

Spartakos (7/2), Crystal Dawn (4/1), All Dunn (9/2), Tea Garden (11/2), Ebury (6/1), Latent Heat (17/2), Pop Favorite (9/1), Final Account (14/1), Thakrah (25/1), Gonzaga (33/1), Techno Lady (66/1), Darke Horse (125/1)

CRYSTAL DAWN is well handicapped and benefited from a return to AW when second over C&D last time, so she's worth chancing to go one better at the possible expense of Pop Favorite, who scored at Newcastle last time. Spartakos is another one to consider.
