14/1

Morpheus filly. Dam 7f winner on Flat. Should be better equipped than most for this sort of test, so makes the shortlist.

Forecasts

Authorized Pursuit (13/8), Hoopmalassie (6/1), Eagle's First (6/1), Mayhem Mya (15/2), Kadiyama (10/1), Alchemystique (14/1), Guilty Party (14/1), Weird Sister (14/1), Sweet Nightingale (16/1), Hunter's Dawn (18/1), Scapalloro (150/1)

AUTHORIZED PURSUIT is arguably the pick on pedigree and represents a quality stable, so he's a tentative selection in a bumper that's difficult to assess without the benefit of market clues. Hoopmalassie and Weird Sister are bred to have a bit more speed than the selection and should be well forward, so they also make plenty of appeal.
