Forecasts

Pretty Gorgeous (11/10), Shale (9/2), Teresa Mendoza (11/2), Mother Earth (15/2), Thunder Beauty (14/1), Oodnadatta (22/1), Aunty Bridy (25/1), Snowfall (25/1), Divinely (40/1), Bubbles On Ice (50/1), A Ma Chere (50/1), Star Image (150/1), Elanora (200/1)

PRETTY GORGEOUS heads the market for the 1000 Guineas on the back of her impressive win in the Debutante Stakes over this C&D 3 weeks ago, powering away from Shale and Mother Earth, and Joseph O'Brien's filly should prove very hard to beat. Shale can follow her home again, with Teresa Mendoza best of the others.
