Forecasts

Velocity (7/4), Imagine Freedom (7/4), Imperial Eight (5/2), Marie Paradis (16/1), Macs Girl (20/1), Apache Charm (66/1), Senorita Eva Rose (150/1), Lady Iris (200/1), War Kitten (300/1)

IMPERIAL EIGHT is clear top rated so she's taken to make the most of a good opportunity. Imagine Freedom is respected under a penalty in a race lacking depth, while Velocity could also get involved on her tapeta debut.
