Forecasts

April Showers (2/1), Sense Of Style (5/2), Port Sunlight (5/1), Madonna (11/2), Fermoy (17/2), Connla (10/1), The Blue Garter (14/1), Slan Tamall (22/1), Bondi Dreams (25/1), Dearg Jazz (50/1), Rare Flower (66/1)

It would be no surprise to see MADONNA get into the groove on her debut and make a winning start to what could be a fruitful career. Her sister Maybe was unbeaten as a juvenile and handled any ground. April Showers will be the biggest threat after her two efforts to date as long as she handles the ground. Sense of Style also can't be ruled out.
