Forecasts

Crystal Pool (9/2), Is Fantastic (9/2), Lady Leanora (9/2), Zahee (7/1), Dark Design (15/2), Darkened (8/1), Kew Palace (8/1), Colonel Slade (12/1), Dromod Lad (14/1), Beleaguerment (16/1), Longoddson (16/1), Grey Bear (16/1), Hidden Spark (18/1), Sydney Blues (22/1), Georgia Peach (40/1), Three Sevens (66/1), Scream (80/1), Dancing Doll (100/1)

A few with chances but IS FANTASTIC looks weighted to go very close nudged up only 1 lb for her excellent big-field second at Gowran last month and she gets the nod. Lady Leanora is also bidding for a breakthrough win and is feared most on the back of her recent Navan third. Gowran-victor Dark Design is another who can have a say in an open handicap.
