Forecasts

Artisan Dancer (3/1), Two Past Eight (10/3), Sea Me Dance (9/2), Kitty Foyle (5/1), Wilkie (15/2), Divya (10/1), Pop The Champagne (14/1), Rock Chant (14/1), Queensland Boy (22/1), Charlie's Yard (33/1), Lady Valentine (40/1), Man Of Riddles (100/1)

ARTISAN DANCER is enjoying an excellent season and is fancied to bag win number four on the back of his recent C&D second when not enjoying the rub of the green. Two Past Eight is weighted to go well back in this sphere so could emerge as the main threat ahead of the unexposed Kitty Foyle.
