Forecasts

Calafrio (1/1), Pinjarra (5/1), All Too Beautiful (13/2), Carlton And Co (13/2), Up The Monk (7/1), Lion Ring (9/1), Master Dandy (14/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (18/1), Dark Dreamer (18/1), Colorada Dancer (22/1), Dubai Magic (40/1), Analytical Engine (40/1), Master Zack (66/1), Purpendicular (100/1)

CALAFRIO won with enough in hand at Kempton to think she might be able to follow up. Up The Monk has gone the right way since joining Mick Appleby and is second choice ahead of Pinjarra.
