Forecasts

Ancient Epic (9/4), Flying The Star (7/2), Her Royal Majesty (6/1), Beckoning Beauty (6/1), Scent Of A Woman (9/1), Miss Lialah (9/1), Luna Eclipse (11/1), Casa Rosada (14/1), Imbejeje (14/1), Sting Ray (22/1), Gingerspathtoglory (28/1)

LUNA ECLIPSE is highest rated of these on the form book and is well up to winning this readily. Her Royal Majesty seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while Sting Ray comes into calculations for third place.
