Forecasts

Fugacious (7/2), South Forest (4/1), Gold Allure (5/1), Angel Palanas (11/2), Rotokura (6/1), Starting Monday (13/2), Hell Left Loose (8/1), Sweettasteoflove (10/1), Tanseeq (11/1), Tribal Path (16/1), Red Heel (16/1), Highway To Heaven (16/1), Cliffs Of Freedom (25/1), Macocha (40/1), Papal Parade (50/1), Blue Raven (50/1), Shadow Wind (80/1)

GOLD ALLURE offered plenty of promise when a staying-on third from too far back in a Curragh maiden last time and, with this promising to suit all the more, she's capable of defying a mark of 67 on her first go in handicaps. Recent Listowel scorer Angel Palanas remains with scope after a rise, so he's also considered along with Starting Monday.
