Forecasts

Imperial Emperor (9/4), Tumbarumba (7/2), Mendelssohn Bay (13/2), Meshtri (8/1), Castlewarden (8/1), King Gold (11/1), Killer Collect (12/1), Commissioner King (20/1), Musical Dancer (20/1), Morning (33/1), David Of Athens (40/1), Masmak (50/1), West Saratoga (50/1)

Verdict

With over half the field being Seemar-trained runners, it's hard not to see him having a hand in the finish, with IMPERIAL EMPEROR looking the one to be on. Mendelssohn Bay could be the one to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Tumbarumba looks third best.
