Forecasts

Sam's Hope (5/2), Sam's Xpress (16/5), Pinjarra (10/3), Apple's Angel (13/2), Marcus (7/1), War Zone (10/1), Alfa Moonstone (10/1), Battle Point (22/1)

Being in form counts for plenty in this grade and PINJARRA might be able to strike again while the iron is hot. Apple's Angel and Sam's Hope are others who arrive on the back of good recent efforts.
