Forecasts

Bayshore Freeway (7/4), Makawee (4/1), Spirit Of Appin (5/1), Hameem (7/1), Crystal Moonlight (10/1), Dance Legend (12/1), Hulcote (12/1), Tamreer (40/1), Ahorsewithnoname (50/1)

Verdict

The fact that her champion trainer takes on a higher rated horses on seemingly unfavourable terms suggests that HAMEEM is believed capable of further improvement and she should make a bold bid to land a four-timer. Bayshore Freeway is clear top rated and has very strong claims so has to be seriously respected, while Spirit Of Appin is another improver who could be very much on the premises as well. A place and black type would massively boost the paddock value of a number of the others, among whom Makawee and Crystal Moonlight are not ruled out by any means.
  1. Hameem
  2. Bayshore Freeway
  3. Spirit Of Appin
