Forecasts

Rule Of June (7/2), Trickey Trix (9/2), Quarry Lil (9/2), Daisy's Hollow (11/2), Porterhorse (13/2), My Newbrook Rose (7/1), Alice Johnston (17/2), Cailean's Angel (10/1), Musical Ava (12/1), Flamin Aimee (16/1), Barangarou (16/1), Scarlet Revera (16/1), Echoes Of Family (18/1), Pat's Pearl (40/1), Jubatus (50/1), Thimbleweed (66/1)

PORTERHORSE and Rule of June both stepped up on their previous efforts when finding only one too good on their respective handicap debuts and may be the pair to focus on. The former, who rates the type to come on again, narrowly shades the vote. Quarry Lil and Flamin Aimee complete the shortlist.
