Forecasts

Yermanthere (11/4), Baldomero (10/3), Spilt Passion (4/1), Mother Country (6/1), Privilege (13/2), Flying Rock (9/1), Gegenpressing (18/1)

The vote goes to MOTHER COUNTRY, who got the better of multiple subsequent winner I Siyou Baby when narrowly landing a Naas maiden in June. She wasn't seen to best effect in a Galway handicap next time and this well-bred filly remains with potential. Spilt Passion rate the main danger, though Yermanthere is of interest now pitched into a handicap and Dundalk winner Baldomero has claims, too.
