Forecasts

Chartered (2/1), Guroor (5/2), Sparkle Roll (15/2), Air Force Amy (8/1), Blissful Beauty (12/1), Dalakina (12/1), Aubretia (14/1), Maamora (22/1), Katiesheidinlisa (25/1), Inajuma (40/1), Light Of India (66/1)

A race which features a number of interesting fillies. Sparkle Roll, Katiesheidinlisa and Maamora all made their respective racecourse debuts under similar conditions here earlier in the month, and reappear with connections no doubt hoping for some improvement. The most experienced horses in the race are Blissful Beauty and Air Force Amy, with both fillies demonstrating obvious signs of ability so far, but the nod goes to turf debutante GUROOR who made a highly promising debut (albeit in a slightly lesser race) at Kempton in August. Assuming she handles this softer ground, a minimal amount of natural progression could well take her to the front.
