Forecasts

Hotrocket (9/4), Solar Breeze (3/1), Baalbec Beauty (4/1), Elephant John (8/1), Lady Tanzanite (12/1), Upward Curve (16/1), Lottie Go Lightly (18/1), Grant Wood (20/1), Endless Season (20/1), Finke River (22/1), Raleigh Bridge (22/1), Coushty (22/1), Selective Power (33/1), Empress Of Bough (50/1), Mi Sueno (66/1), Wonder Woman (100/1), Gig Harbor (125/1), Barney Rubbles (125/1), Holding Aces (150/1), Ballybeg Boy (200/1)

HOTROCKET made a promising return when runner-up at Listowel and looks the one to beat with that run under his belt. Solar Breeze has the form to play a big part back in maiden company and is next on the list while Listowel debut fifth Balbec Beauty and newcomer Lady Tanzanite appeal as the duo best equipped to fight it out for minor honours.
