Forecasts

Areana (5/1), Dinamine (11/2), Nyota (13/2), Dreams Fled Away (7/1), Glyde Ranger (8/1), Flier (17/2), Uberrima Fides (10/1), Big Challenge (11/1), Power Drive (12/1), Navajo River (12/1), Tudor Manor (12/1), Mosaaheb (12/1), Neddies Boy (16/1), Emperor Of Silk (16/1), Astrophysicist (25/1), Angel In The Sky (33/1), Berlina (125/1)

AREANA is lightly raced for her age, and having not been beaten far on both starts over 1¼m here this winter, she gets the nod to open her account stepped back up in trip. The main threat may emerge from Nyota, who shaped as if worth a try at this distance when mid-field at this track in November, while Uberrima Fides and Emperor of Silk are another couple to consider in an open-looking finale.
