Forecasts

Elegant Pose (9/4), Making Light (3/1), I'm So Fancy (13/2), Panstarr (8/1), Petticoat (12/1), Sister Blandina (16/1), Pocketfullofdreams (16/1), Smoulder (16/1), Pavlenko (20/1), Stormy Belle (33/1), Perle De La Mer (40/1), Secret Existence (40/1), Tobacco Bay (50/1), Old Time Waltz (50/1)

ELEGANT POSE has made a good start to her career winning two of her three starts and she can register a third career success for in form trainer Ger Lyons (9/30). The selection proved she handles soft ground when finishing third last time out and she can get the better of I'm So Fancy who can put a disappointing effort last time out behind her by finishing third today. Making Light has run well in this graded twice already this season and she can take third.
