Forecasts

Simply Glorious (7/2), Dha Leath (7/2), Supagirl (11/2), Zuhra (11/2), Alma Libre (13/2), Buenaventura (11/1), New Moon Rising (14/1), Arctic Blaze (16/1), Essential Part (16/1), Nevada Queen (25/1), Stormy Jenn (33/1), Sense Of Romance (50/1), Maricruz (66/1), Satisfy (125/1)

BUENAVENTURA has improved for the step up in trip this term and remains of interest having only been edged out at Dundalk last time. Dha Leath looked better than ever when making a winning debut for this yard at Limerick on return 3 weeks ago and must be considered, while Supagirl is probably worth another chance.
