Forecasts

Joupe (2/1), No Show (7/2), Able Jack (9/1), Lily Of The Glen (10/1), Complete Fiction (11/1), Albedo (12/1), Dreams Delivered (14/1), Scarlet Seymour (14/1), Maricruz (16/1), Movie King (20/1), Crystal Pool (20/1), Golden Sandbanks (20/1), Dande (22/1), Kingslayer (25/1), Berliet Express (50/1), Cornish Rock (66/1), Double Kodiac (80/1)

If able to reproduce the form she showed on turf during the summer, CRYSTAL POOL could be the answer. She was runner-up off a 3 lb higher mark at Gowran when last seen in July and, though 0-10 on the all-weather, she wasn't beaten far when third here in February. Last-time-out winners Joupe and Scarlet Seymour both have more on their plates this time and Maricruz and No Show rate the main dangers.
