Forecasts

Azoozi (10/3), Reporter (7/2), Sweet Fantastic (6/1), Arlecchino's Rex (13/2), Panama Black (13/2), Choreographic (15/2), Dapper Gee Gee (11/1), Packetofbiscuits (14/1), Montrachet Girl (16/1), Ant Colony (16/1), Bad Habits (22/1), Jane Garfield (25/1), Mini Mac (50/1)

This is wide open so it could be worth siding with John Butler's AZOOZI to take a sizeable step forward on his handicap bow and get off the mark. The handily-weighted Sweet Fantastic is next on the list and rates a big threat with Panama Black, Mini Mac and Choreographic also well in the mix.
