Forecasts

Koktail Divin (8/11), Zillow (11/4), Arabian Diamond (5/1), Champagne Kid (7/1), Quantum Quest (11/1), Reinado (80/1), Mashalla Habibi (100/1), Kalgoorlie Gold (100/1), Je Suis Le Bonheur (125/1), My Lyka (125/1), Jazz Forever (150/1), Sean Mc (150/1), My Boy Christy (200/1)

KOKTAIL DIVIN was beaten some way by the first two when third at Fairyhouse but the pair that beat him that day could be smart and, in any case, a reproduction of his C&D second over Christmas would make him hard to beat. Arabian Diamond could be the one to follow the selection home if fully tuned-up following a seven-month absence. Zillow and Koktail Divin's stablemate Quantum Quest are both open to improvement and merit respect.
