Forecasts

American Sonja (9/4), Semblance Of Order (9/2), Amusement (5/1), Pub Talk (6/1), Man Of Eden (15/2), Aurifodina (8/1), Devore (9/1), She's Local (11/1), Hialeah (20/1), Belissimo (25/1), Slaney Tide (25/1), Allesnick (66/1)

AMERIACN SONJA has shown fairly useful form on both starts to date and promises to be well suited by this longer trip on nursery debut, so he's preferred to Aurifodina, who found plenty to open her account in a big-field at Naas last time. Semblence of Order is another one to consider.
