Forecasts

Tide Is High (9/4), Miss Rose (3/1), V V Power (15/2), Royal Welcome (15/2), Midnight Cowboy (10/1), Jungle Promise (14/1), Grace Lightning (14/1), Twice The Secret (14/1), Question The Stars (18/1), Tara Iti (20/1), A Foreign Affair (20/1), Alloway Grove (28/1), Cashing In (33/1), Bravestarr (33/1), Jean Paul (40/1)

TIDE IS HIGH appeals best of these by a narrow margin but it promises to be touch and go. Miss Rose could provide the most competition, while A Foreign Affair also looks good for a place.
