Forecasts

Nibras Gold (15/8), Russian Rumour (7/2), Justified (7/2), Cogital (4/1), Artemis Sky (9/2), Bailarico (9/1)

RUSSIAN RUMOUR goes well at this track and has returned to her last winning mark despite a respectable fifth in a better race at Ffos Las recently, so a chance is taken on her to come out on top in this tightly-knit contest. Last-time-out winners Nibras Gold and Justified are obvious dangers.
