Forecasts

Lunar Discovery (3/1), Nayef's Girl (7/2), Oakley Dancer (18/5), Thorsda (6/1), Hierachy (11/1), Maisie Too (12/1), Not In Kansas (14/1), Silver Coin (14/1), Nairobi Girl (18/1), Celestial Fashion (28/1), Comeonrita (33/1)

THORSDA is out of a bumper winner and her stable will likely have her ready to go, so she gets the nod ahead of Oakley Dancer, who also makes plenty of appeal on paper. Nairobi Girl, who has already landed a point bumper, also merits consideration.
