Forecasts

Must Be Love (5/4), Empress Jingu (15/8), Haldon Pier (6/1), Ghaiyyath Dream (15/2), Woollahra (10/1), Cloud Chorus (16/1)

HALDON PIER ticks plenty of boxes on paper (half-sister won on debut for this yard last year) and may be able to make a winning start. She's narrowly preferred to standard-setter Empress Jingu, while Must Be Love is another newcomer to be taken seriously, especially if supported.
