Forecasts

Furnace Creek (5/2), Red Lacewing (9/2), Neo Soul (13/2), Little Queenie (13/2), Jarvis (13/2), Joyous Moment (10/1), Harmony Rose (11/1), Areille (18/1), Ernest Rutherford (18/1), Amirat Alward (28/1), Pearl Palinka (33/1), Anatoli (33/1)

JOYOUS MOMENT, having opened her account second time out, shaped well from a poor draw at Naas 11 days ago, so she's worth another chance to improve and show herself better than this mark. The hat-trick seeking Jarvis is an obvious player and Amirat Alward is an interesting runner on debut for a new stable.
