Forecasts

Marbling (11/5), Music To My Ears (7/2), Sister Lola (4/1), Hodd's Girl (15/2), Red Heel (9/1), Camdeboo (11/1), Tellthemi'mhere (14/1), Pretty Smart (25/1)

Cases can be made for the majority of these and RED HEEL shades preference on the back of a solid recent effort off this mark at Bellewstown. Marbling was doing her best work at the finish when fifth on her all-weather debut over C&D last week and she is next on the list. Pretty Smart is third choice, albeit only marginally as Hodd's Girl and Sister Lola are others with claims.
