Forecasts

Blue Heather (11/8), Conquering Tara (6/4), Love The Melody (8/1), The Girl That Sang (16/1), Our Majella (20/1), Euro Dot Com (25/1), It Takes Time (33/1), Docking (33/1), Lady Violet (33/1), Hit The Hay (33/1), Coosan Bluebell (33/1)

Daughter of Doyen BLUE HEATHER holds a clear and obvious chance in the closing race of the day following a number of solid and consistent bumper efforts since May. The five-year-old can hold off the potential challenge of C&D third of 14 last month, Conquering Tara and the Peter Fahy-trained Docking.
