Forecasts

Wiff Waff (4/1), Bring The Money (5/1), Twelve Diamonds (6/1), Glamorous Force (7/1), Secret Potion (8/1), Tyger Bay (9/1), Blue Cable (10/1), Glamorous Crescent (11/1), Cherish (12/1), The Golden Cue (14/1), Katelli (16/1), Diamond Cottage (20/1), Sovereign State (28/1), At Your Service (33/1), Bold Decision (33/1), Amberine (50/1), Cool Strutter (66/1)

TWELVE DIAMONDS made a pleasing start for a new yard when runner-up over C&D 9 days ago and might be able to go one better with race fitness now assured. Wiff Waff was back to form 3 days ago and tends to go well at this track, so he's considered a danger along with Katelli.
