Forecasts

Shona Kirsty Yves (10/3), Maggie Smith (7/2), Rani Of Jhansi (4/1), Spirited Flight (13/2), Nellie Melba (13/2), Sting Ray (17/2), Tayooba (10/1), Full Of Magic (11/1), Palm Breeze (20/1), Predator's Feast (28/1), Noble Storm (40/1)

NELLIE MELBA has been hard to fault in recent races and looks the one they all have to beat. Shona Kirsty Yves chief among the rest shouldn't be underestimated, while Spirited Flight can scrap it out for third.
