Forecasts

Dark Tulip (9/2), Doolily (6/1), Kindness (6/1), Ischia (6/1), Goldilocks (7/1), Signorina Merisi (7/1), Daiquiri Francais (10/1), Hersilia (14/1), Helene (16/1), Piffle (16/1), First Crowd (18/1), Belisa De Vega (50/1), Mild Reflection (150/1)

Usually an informative race and the betting should be revealing, with HERSILIA chanced. The Hills' yard have had a couple of juveniles win first time out of late and the booking of Cieren Fallon catches the eye. Signorina Merisi is another interesting newcomer, while Dark Tulip, from a stable with a good record in this event, looks the pick of those with experience.
