Forecasts

Ambling (1/1), Vivid Diamond (4/1), Padmavati (9/1), Fancy Dress (11/1), Birdcage Walk (14/1), Tasman Sea (14/1), Shagalla (16/1), Cafe Espresso (20/1), Noble Queen (28/1), Fast Strike (40/1), Riverina (100/1), Cuban Sun (200/1)

Shagalla and Fancy Dress represent yards who had a good September with their juveniles and they are very much ones to note in the market. Noble Queen and Tasman Sea make their debuts for yard's who have enjoyed a lot of success in 2018 with this age group, but AMBLING is taken to build on the promise of her Newmarket debut when she looked big and backward but got the hang of things late on.
