Forecasts

Alpha Theta (11/4), Kayarnah (3/1), Ocean Beyond (7/2), Dublin Blue (17/2), Root Sixty Six (10/1), Mia Dolan (12/1), Recall It All (20/1), Hunter's Dawn (28/1)

An uncompetitive event in which Mark Johnston's newcomer ALPHA THETA makes most appeal given connections. Her dam was a useful type who won both on debut and on an all-weather surface so she is the tentative selection. Root Sixty Six is out of a mare that went really well round here so has to be considered on debut. Mia Dolan didn't disgrace herself here last month and can't be ruled out.
