Forecasts

Desert Marathon (15/8), Petalite (9/4), Lightning Lou (3/1), Fairy Cakes (8/1), Diamond Gait (12/1), Cordarosa (50/1)

PETALITE has offered plenty of potential on both starts and appeals as the type to be well suited by a step up to 1m, so she's fancied to get off the mark at the third attempt. Lightning Lou should give the selection something to think about, while further improvement from Desert Marathon would put her right in the mix.
