Forecasts

Sunday Smart (5/2), Red Persian (11/4), Blue Uluru (7/2), Emadee (4/1), Abamanova (13/2), T For Tango (8/1), Powersville (16/1)

Verdict

The lightly-raced EMADEE could be the one of take this prize. The Zebedee filly was a good winner on debut at Naas last summer before running with credit in a Group 3 at the Curragh on her second start. A replication of that might be enough on her return to action. Blue Uluru is another with potential having been held in a Listed contest over C&D in November while Sunday Smart and T For Tango could be the best of the rest.
