Forecasts

Tara Ri (8/11), Glory Liss (4/1), Magical Zoe (8/1), Milajess (12/1), Costanuci (12/1), Hot As Pepper (14/1), Amofsi Dora (14/1), Rathkenty Light (25/1), Phils Choice (33/1), Tonnta (40/1), Jakes Dream (50/1), Design Flaw (50/1), Bartra Lady (100/1), Whiskey Lady (125/1)

In what appears to be a weak race on paper, the obvious choice is newcomer TARA RI, who represents a top yard that has dominated in bumpers all season. Point winner Hot As Pepper is feared most and Milajess strikes as the pick of those with Rules form, although she doesn't set the bar very high.
