Forecasts

Electric Blue (4/7), Tributo (4/1), Hope Probe (5/1), Five Rings (11/2), Bayamon Belle (50/1), Don't Tell Dj (80/1), Zealot (80/1), Red Sparrow (200/1), Diamonds Dream (200/1)

A very uncompetitive maiden in which ELECTRIC BLUE looks the one to beat. She was unlucky not to shed her maiden tag last year after a series of solid efforts before being over-faced in a sales race. This will be her easiest assignment to date and she's difficult to oppose. Tributo may give her most to think about after a solid run at Lingfield last month.
