Forecasts

Auckland (5/4), Nigg Bay (9/4), Alahida (5/1), Makamamia (7/1), Bowden (7/1), Sin Sin (14/1), Casla (16/1), Hey Hey Alejandro (33/1), Frozen Moon (33/1), Hey Good Looking (33/1), Markus Twain (50/1), Hatmaker (50/1)

Verdict

This may come down to the fillies in the contest and MAKAMAMIA produced a promising effort on her debut; it would be no surprise to see her run well having been given time to recover from that. Any support for Casla would be interesting given her pedigree while Bowden looks the most interesting of the colts in the line-up.
  1. Makamamia
  2. Casla
  3. Bowden
