Forecasts

Quoteline Direct (10/3), Cheese And Wine (10/3), California Lad (4/1), Beauty Stone (5/1), Epaneema (5/1), Star Ascending (8/1), Lady Of Authority (16/1), Captainofthebounty (18/1), Majeste (22/1), Rathbride Prince (25/1), Mickey Drippin (50/1), Waterfall (66/1)

BEAUTY STONE is still relatively unexposed at this trip and she's been acquitting herself well since racing beyond a mile. She can finally get off the mark as she tackles this trip for the first time. Cheese and Wine is also fairly unexposed and she has been sent off at relatively shor prices for her two handicaps over this trip so is worth considering. Quoteline Direct holds each-way claims.
