Forecasts

Sophia's First (4/1), Illuminate (9/2), Mauby (11/2), Rabia The Rebel (7/1), Western Dance (15/2), Wedding Bliss (15/2), Fasinada (8/1), The Sash (9/1), Whole Of The Moon (12/1), Ration My Passion (16/1), Pucker Up (28/1), Winning Queen (33/1), Emily Hobhouse (40/1)

FASINADA is hard to oppose if not troubled by this different trip. Rabia The Rebel looks the best back-up if the selection underperforms, while Illuminate can fight it out for minor honours.
