Forecasts

Rough Diamond (5/2), We're On The Way (9/2), Missemma (6/1), Sunset Nova (17/2), Cometh The Man (9/1), Andromedas Kingdom (11/1), Tawaazon (12/1), Crystal Dawn (14/1), Brokers Tip (18/1), Kilonova (20/1), Roxette (25/1), The Dazzer (33/1), The Cola Brasil (40/1), Cailin Saoirse (50/1), Purring Along (100/1)

MISSEMMA returned an improved model when fourth in a big-field handicap at the Curragh and can open her account nudged up just 1 lb here. Andromedas Kingdom made a promising start for her new yard when finishing a place behind the selection there and is feared most. Rough Diamond is weighted to go well too if back on song on his seasonal return.
