Forecasts

Ararat (5/2), Capital Guarantee (11/4), Red Maids (16/5), Magical Merlin (4/1), Alpha Capture (9/1)

Mark Rimell's filly RED MAIDS has really clicked into gear of late so is fancied to defy an 8 lb weight hike and complete a quick hat-trick. Capital Guarantee hasn't looked back since joining David O'Meara though and is greatly feared in his bid for a four-timer, while Magical Merlin is weighted to have a big say too and shouldn't be underestimated either in an intriguing handicap.
