Forecasts

Ocean Jewel (11/10), Profitable Edge (10/3), Bonny Power (9/2), Orchis (8/1), Maggie McGrath (9/1), Zing Up (11/1), Big Time Girl (14/1), Wakai Umi (18/1)

OCEAN JEWEL showed something to work on when sixth at the Curragh on debut and, with improvement on the cards, she's worth a chance to take this weak maiden. Bonny Power improved despite meeting trouble at Naas on her latest outing, so she's considered a threat, and newcomer Orchis would make plenty of appeal if the market spoke in her favour.
