Forecasts

Figlio D'arte (9/4), Lighthouse Lady (7/1), Wild Shot (8/1), Angel In The Sky (8/1), Custers Mistake (10/1), Evening Verse (11/1), Wadacre Gogo (12/1), Storm Steps (12/1), Ballybaun Star (14/1), Stellify (14/1), Pikaia (22/1), Summer Pearl (25/1), Alvaro (33/1), Too Falutin (33/1), Power Drive (50/1), Hurricane Sky (66/1), Thomas O'Malley (80/1)

FIGLIO D'ARTE posted a good second in first-time blinkers at Gowran 23 days ago and, with further improvement likely over this longer trip, he gets the nod to go one better. Custers Mistake and Summer Pearl head the opposition.
