Forecasts

Warrior Royale (7/4), Bevies Delight (3/1), Querari Rose (3/1), Mascherina (7/2), Hierkommiebokkie (5/1), Perilla (8/1), Malcolm's Dream (14/1)

QUERARI ROSE is selected rather gingerly but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Bevies Delight is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Warrior Royale can win the battle for minor honours.
