Forecasts

Crac De Megaudais (2/1), Star Legend (7/2), Tara Iti (4/1), Tiny Tantrum (13/2), Jack The Savage (8/1), Jackeline (12/1), Bigz Belief (12/1), Siberian Star (14/1), Fine By Her (20/1), Annie Nail (28/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but TARA ITI rates just the pick of the weights so is taken to gain a deserved victory and end a run of second placings. Recent Hereford scorer Jackeline could emerge as the main danger, although Bigz Belief, Star Legend and Jack The Savage can all have a say too in this competitive handicap.
