Forecasts

Vitesse Du Son (5/4), Amazon Princess (7/4), Fact Or Fable (4/1), Abbey Wharf (5/1), Lafontaine (5/1), Champagne Highlife (6/1), Marble Bay (9/1), Hands Down (16/1), Dream Isle (25/1), Bean Chlonard (66/1), Majestyk Fire (66/1)

AMAZON PRINCESS showed marked improvement when placed here last time out and she can get off the mark with a victory in the concluding race on the card. The selection can see off her rivals here with Vitesse Du Son capable of finishing runner-up dropping back in trip. Long term maiden Fact Or Fable ran well when fourth here on his most recent start and he can take third on this occasion.
