Forecasts

Riviere D'etel (11/10), Thedevilscoachman (3/1), Visionarian (6/1), Western Run (15/2), Take All (12/1), Mighty Tom (28/1), Laralei (300/1)

RIVIERE D'ETEL was heavily punted prior to running out a facile winner on Irish debut 3 weeks ago and in receipt of weight from her realistic dangers, she will take some beating. Thedevilscoachman contested a Grade 1 last time and is feared, along with Visonarian.
