Forecasts

Tarnawa (1/2), Wembley (11/2), Benaud (6/1), Taipan (6/1), Silence Please (13/2), Layfayette (10/1), Hector De Maris (12/1), Questionare (50/1), Seattle Sound (80/1), Effernock Fizz (200/1)

A Group 3 which features the return to action of last autumn's triple Group 1 winner TARNAWA. The Aga Khan's 5-y-o likely won't be fully primed for this, with much bigger targets ahead in the coming weeks, but she should still prove a cut above this opposition. Queen's Vase fourth Benaud and Jessica Harrington's can battle it out for the forecast spot.
