Forecasts

Meditate (2/1), Matilda Picotte (2/1), Comhra (7/2), Treasure Trove (10/1), It's Showtime Baby (11/1), La Dolce Vita (16/1), Comanche Country (22/1)

MATILDA PICOTTE displayed cracking speed when getting off the mark at the first attempt in a Curragh maiden (6f) 2 weeks ago, drawing clear final 1f to win easily, and she gets the nod to back that up and make it 2-2. Aidan O'Brien's Mediate and Comhra are a couple of others fancied to figure.
