Forecasts

Causeway (5/6), Drop Dead Gorgeous (7/2), Shaihaan (10/1), Amadeus Mozart (10/1), Shosholoza (11/1), Zia Zabel (12/1), South Island (28/1), Mr Vettori (40/1), Alphecca (100/1)

Verdict

CAUSEWAY is progressing rapidly and, with the step up to 1¼m highly likely to unlock further improvement, earns a narrow vote. Amadeus Mozart and Drop Dead Gorgeous are also highly promising types and could well complete a 1-2-3 for the yard.
