Forecasts

Thunder Eclipse (13/8), Gaire Os Ard (2/1), Doitforandrew (7/2), Thismydream (17/2), Fitzante (9/1), Bantry (25/1), Vidala (40/1), Whynotmyfriend (80/1)

GAIRE OS ARD has shown a fair level of form on all her three runs and Jim Bolger's filly looks to have been found a good opportunity to open her account here. Doitforandrew should be all the better for his recent Tipperary sixth after a break and is next on the list ahead of fair performer Thunder Eclipse.
