Forecasts

Champagne City (2/5), Mister Universum (6/4), Ocean Eleven (11/2), Kalanisi Glen (7/1), Not At All (16/1), Justice Knight (25/1), Diamondsaretrumps (25/1), Fair Frank (33/1), Chasing Headlights (80/1)

The main battle here looks to be between Mister Universum and CHAMPAGNE CITY with the latter favoured despite having to give weight away all round. The others to note here are Not At All and Kalanisi Glen both of whom have shown ability and no matter what they do here will be of real interest when they step into handicaps.
