Forecasts

Leave In Secret (1/1), Rememberthename (16/5), Tuba (9/2), Onyx Storm (17/2), Dream Escape (11/1), Boujee (20/1), Austrian Fire (25/1), Matilauna (25/1), Myfavourite Friend (50/1), Mr Erwitt (66/1), Hickeys Hill (100/1), Halo Halo (125/1), Darcys Song (200/1)

LEAVE IN SECRET possesses much the best form on offer and is taken to gain a deserved first victory at the chief expense of Rememberthename and Onyx Storm who both have better days ahead of them and can chase home the selection in that order.
