Forecasts

Direct Hit (4/11), Hot Sauce (11/4), King Prawn (11/2), Fiery Countess (10/1), Instaworthy (11/1), Silva City (25/1), Arabian Blue (33/1), Quick Crown (40/1), Outback Express (100/1)

DIRECT HIT is the one to beat judged on the form book and isn't easy to look past. Hot Sauce might be the answer to second place, while Silva City edges it so far as third place is concerned.
