Forecasts

Paully (4/1), Wangan Midnight (4/1), Dirty Martini (9/2), Homer Fidget (13/2), Aspiringtoreign (17/2), Royal Shindig (9/1), Beneficiary (10/1), Flash Gala (12/1), Head Gardener (14/1), Silver Celebrity (14/1), Lord Marmite (16/1), Excelsior (25/1)

DIRTY MARTINI's overall form just puts him out in front but he will need everything to fall right. Head Gardener is a sound alternative, while Wangan Midnight also needs a closer look.
