Forecasts

Get Funky (3/1), Al Shoughor (7/2), Sunset Glow (4/1), Cosmos Raj (11/2), Mrs Dibble (10/1), Cathayensis (16/1), Homegrownalligator (16/1), Lowndes Square (16/1), Forza Del Destino (16/1), Swiss Flamingo (40/1), Bullet Tooth Tony (66/1)

This is a very uncompetitive maiden and AL SHOUGHOR should improve enough from her debut last June to be able to take this race. She was sent off favourite that day so must be well regarded at home and can get off the mark here. Any market support for Get Funky would have to be taken seriously. Cosmos Raj looks best of the rest.
