Forecasts

Shamwari (4/5), King Leodegrance (9/4), Galileo's Compass (4/1), Letiza (8/1), Great Cat Mau (20/1), Red Special (22/1), Van Demon (25/1), Tommy Thug (25/1), Kitty McFee (28/1), Jinxs Link (80/1), Dakota Chief (100/1), Jessi (100/1), Executive Summary (125/1), Taxiing (150/1), Navajo River (200/1), Awakino (200/1), Port Salalah (250/1)

This represents a golden opportunity for SHAMWARI to get off the mark at the fourth attempt. She has contested listed races the last twice and is likely to prove too strong for Galileo's Companion, who stepped up on his debut display when a close third at Tipperary last time he remains open to improvement, while King Leodegrance has to be taken seriously, too.
