Forecasts

Nectaris (9/4), Past Time (10/3), Tut Tut (7/2), Nectarine (4/1), Shanghai Dragon (11/1), Marsa (11/1)

TUT TUT scored comfortably at Listowel on her penultimate outing and has the pedigree to go on improving, so she's narrowly preferred to her stablemate Nectaris, who appears to have been handed a reasonable opening mark. Last-time-out course winner Nectarine is another one to consider.
