Forecasts

Unless (6/4), Basil Martini (7/2), Shelton (4/1), Madly Truly (4/1), Delightful (9/2), Sweetest Rose (10/1), On The Money (16/1), Freedom Falls (25/1), Expressova (33/1), Pink Sorrel (33/1), Lake Illawarra (40/1)

DELIGHTFUL is bred in the purple and representing Aidan O'Brien, she could well be up to the task on debut. Stablemate Unless is an obvious threat, with Madly Truly a maiden winner-in-waiting, too.
