Forecasts

Nikki's Girl (11/4), Silent Flame (10/3), Eponina (10/3), Mistrix (18/5), Granary Queen (15/2), Nurseclaire (14/1)

EPONINA goes well at this track and arrives on the back of a solid showing, so she's likely to be hard to peg back if she gets her own way in front. If the pace is strong enough, Nikki's Girl should come into it, while Mistrix looks interesting with Benoit de la Sayette back on board.
