Forecasts

Wild Eyed Girl (9/2), Memory Motel (11/2), Rhythm Of Zain (6/1), It Might Be You (7/1), Shinkansen (15/2), Areille (9/1), Mary Pickersgill (10/1), Hot Sunset (10/1), Our Louise (10/1), Purple Gown (20/1), Pandemic Princess (28/1), Invincible Ourse (80/1), Tommorah (100/1)

MEMORY MOTEL was seen to good effect from the front when third in a maiden at Cork last time, but the form is working out well and her opening mark seems potentially lenient, so she's worth chancing to make a successful switch to nurseries under another positive ride. Hot Sunset, the only winner in the field, is feared most ahead of Wild Eyed Girl.
