Melon (1/2), Mick Jazz (6/1), Wakea (6/1), Coquin Mans (7/1), Forge Meadow (25/1), Tellthemnuttin (100/1)
Wakea is the out and out front runner in the field here and will make this an honest renewal of this grade 2 contest. Coquin Mans and Mick Jazz can be expected to run well but it is all about the Supreme Novices runner-up MELON who makes his seasonal debut here.
