Forecasts

Chicago Lightening (2/1), Girl Crush (9/2), Sister Lola (6/1), Alqabeela (8/1), Je T'ai Porte (17/2), Prioritise (17/2), Ghumama (9/1), Is Fantastic (14/1), Cherry Bloom (33/1), Chica Power (40/1), Retro Flame (100/1), Maid Merrion (100/1)

GHUMAMA didn't enjoy the rub of the green when down the field at Killarney and can bounce back to winning ways here at the chief expense of Chicago Lightening who can be expected to build on her Cork second for her in-form yard. James McAuley's duo Prioritise and Sister Lola need considering too in an open claimer.
