Forecasts

Vapour Trail (3/1), Gold Dust (4/1), Konnichiwa (5/1), Loui's Star (7/1), Smart Horse (8/1), Father Christmas (10/1), Papillon Blu (12/1), District Master (14/1), Proudly Spoken (16/1), Joshua (20/1), Gimme The Best (25/1), Monticello (33/1), Royal Dawn (66/1), Go Dancing (66/1)

LOUI'S STAR's overall form just puts her out in front but this is an open race. Vapour Trail could be the chief threat, while Konnichiwa is another with place prospects.
