Forecasts

Full Velocity (7/2), Kwinta's Light (7/2), Favorita (9/2), Mercury Rising (13/2), Gimme Dat (13/2), Tanzanite Queen (9/1), Freestate Star (14/1), Area Fifty One (16/1), Keep The Lights On (18/1), Rapid Fire (33/1), All Of Me (33/1), Vihaan's Pie (50/1), Aisling (80/1)

KWINTA'S LIGHT shouldn't really be hard pressed. Full Velocity is fancied to chase the selection home, while Tanzanite Queen edges it so far as third place is concerned.
