Forecasts

Florence Thompson (13/2), Karlsberg (7/1), Silk Damask (15/2), Red Wasp (15/2), Mogwli (9/1), Hodd's Girl (10/1), Clara's Approach (12/1), Princess Rajj (14/1), Conversant (14/1), Angel's Trumpet (14/1), Thunder Rain (16/1), Cactus Tree (16/1), Harry's Hill (20/1), Aliyza (20/1), Andromedas Kingdom (20/1), Approach To Life (25/1), Ginsburg (25/1), Lexington Liberty (33/1), Gregor Mendel (33/1), Inventor (40/1), Adhuil (40/1), Carirose (50/1), Stickyourneckout (100/1), Mass Gathering (150/1)

FLORENCE THOMPSON ran well at this track on her final outing last season and has the advantage of a recent run under her belt, so she's worth chancing in this wide-open sprint handicap. Red Wasp is still unexposed and now starts out for a top stable, so he's worth considering, while a big run from Hodd's Girl would come as no surprise.
