Forecasts

Mount Kosciuszko (2/1), Arabian Tale (10/3), Saayedd (4/1), Magnum Opus (9/2), Daramethos (5/1), Kafoo (28/1)

DARAMETHOS takes a marked drop in class and can quickly return to winning ways at a track where he has a good record. Magnum Opus was the beaten market pick last time and could be the sternest opposition, while Arabian Tale edges it so far as third place is concerned.
