Forecasts

Braventara (6/4), Midnight Glory (2/1), Dark Aster (7/2), Tambura (13/2), Lagavara (14/1)

Verdict

Lagavara looks the least attractively weighted of these and Midnight Glory is a doubtful stayer. Tambura has conditions to suit and can bounce back from a poor performance with Zac Baker back on board. Dark Aster is lightly raced and open to improvement now handicapping. She is feared but preference is for BRAVENTARA who shaped well on her stable debut last month and has an abundance of stamina.
