Forecasts

Cotai Class (13/8), Gentle Ellen (7/4), Show Compassion (11/2), Carva Myrine (6/1), Banner Road (22/1), Bonito Cavalo (28/1), Tafsir (33/1), Matti (50/1), Christy's Star (66/1), Sporty Billy (150/1), Royal Princess (200/1)

Verdict

CARVA MYRINE appeals on paper and could be up to making a winning start in this maiden for her leading connections. Of those with experience, Gentle Ellen showed promise last year and is better than she could show on her reappearance, while newcomer Show Compassion completes the shortlist.

  1. Carva Myrine6/1
  2. Gentle Ellen7/4
  3. Show Compassion11/2
