Forecasts

Conflated (10/3), French Dynamite (7/2), Hewick (7/2), Minella Indo (4/1), Minella Crooner (5/1), Visionarian (14/1), Hurricane Georgie (16/1), Desertmore House (18/1), Espanito Bello (20/1)

Verdict

CONFLATED needed the run when well held in this last year but will take some stopping on these terms if anywhere near his best this time around. Fellow Grade 1 winners Minella Indo and Hewick are the obvious threats.
