Forecasts

Fairytale Princess (1/1), Alfalfa (11/4), Wajaaha (13/2), Zileo (15/2), Deluca Chop (14/1), Miss Paloma (14/1), Sir John Monash (16/1), Gracesolution (18/1), Cara Susanna (18/1), Jake Peter (25/1), Nomenclature (33/1), Bring Us Paradise (40/1), Brave Thought (50/1), Cosmic Lady (50/1), Magnetic North (66/1), Emperor Of Silk (80/1), Mille Miglia (150/1)

FAIRYTALE PRINCESS is on an upward curve and only found one too good over C&D last time, so she's fancied to get back to winning ways. Alfalfa is regarded as the main threat ahead of Wajaaha.
