Forecasts

Insinuendo (11/8), Create Belief (9/4), Angel Power (5/2), Oodnadatta (11/2), April Showers (9/1), Martinique (10/1), Lovely Esteem (16/1), Astadash (25/1)

CREATE BELIEF produced a handicap performance of rare merit when an easy winner of the Sandringham last month and assuming she's as effective on drying ground, she will take some stopping. Angel Power has an absence to overcome but is already a winner at this level, with Insinuendo the other key player.
