Forecasts

Hector De Maris (11/2), Huddle Up (13/2), Iowa (13/2), Vocito (15/2), White Pepper (8/1), Alex D (8/1), True Artist (9/1), Sheer Chance (11/1), Aleen Cust (12/1), Let Me Pass (14/1), Hot Voice (14/1), Moonhall Girl (33/1), No Stopping Her (50/1), Dreams Delivered (66/1)

It is very hard to rule many of these out but SHEER CHANCE looks like she might improve with racing and will have no issues with the conditions. Hector de Maris and Aleen Cust head the dangers in an extremely competitive nursery
