Forecasts

Goodie Two Shoes (11/8), Santorini Star (3/1), Lemsairbat (7/1), Royal Entry (8/1), Enfranchise (8/1), Island Hopping (11/1), Comic Book (33/1), Drawn To Dream (50/1), Umala (66/1)

GOODIE TWO SHOES looks more than ready for this level after bagging a couple of listed races in May. This does look competitive, though, with Royal Entry and Lemsairbat heading the dangers.
