Forecasts

Betty Crean L A (13/8), Companionship (9/4), Pertemps Sia (4/1), One Small Step (6/1), No Nay Bella (10/1), Nushafreen (16/1)

Little between the principals on form but PERTEMPS SIA looks the way to go with the return to 1m2f promising to play to her strengths. Companionship has few miles on the clock and rates the chief danger, although handicap debutante Betty Crean La is another who could step forward and have a say.
