Forecasts

Denemethy (9/4), Kuzco (5/2), Damarta (11/4), Galunggung (7/2)

DAMARTA shaped well on his chasing debut and, although his jumping lacked fluency again when failing to build on it at Warwick, there was plenty of pressure applied and this looks a more suitable scenario. He's narrowly preferred to Galunggung, while a case can be made for the remaining duo.
