Forecasts

Sonaiyla (13/8), Lustown Baba (5/1), Romantic Proposal (6/1), More Beautiful (15/2), Back To Brussels (15/2), Loch Lein (12/1), Santosha (12/1), Thunder Beauty (14/1), Teresa Mendoza (16/1), Camdeboo (16/1), A Ma Chere (40/1), Sweet Gardenia (50/1), Star In The Making (50/1), Silver Service (66/1), Linda Barrett (125/1)

SONAIYLA rates the form pick here and should be all the better for her reappearance third over C&D so gets the nod in an open Group 3 contest. Fellow C&D scorer Lustown Baba looks the one to give her most to do on the back of her good Naas second, with Back To Brussels and Camdeboo set for minor honours.
