Forecasts

Midnight Blue (11/8), Pippin (7/4), Mt Augustus (9/2), Poetic Steps (6/1)

A small field but all bar Mt Augustus can make the pace so it's likely to be a true test. Poetic Steps represents a stable with an impressive recent record in the race but comes up against a couple of progressive types. Pippin has an eye-catching jockey booking and there should be more to come at this trip but preference is for MIDNIGHT BLUE who is rapidly improving and will be a formidable opponent under a penalty as she's due to go up 11lb in the future.
