9/1

66/1

50/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good) 8 days ago, outpaced over 2f out. Did have a difficult draw to deal with then but much more needed on back of what she's showed in 2 starts this year.

Forecasts

Rain Cap (3/1), Desert Dream (5/1), Portelet Bay (5/1), Final Account (6/1), Reigning Profit (8/1), Eruption (9/1), Jackmeister Rudi (10/1), Jet Set Go (12/1), Merry Secret (28/1), Girl From Ipanema (33/1), Sun Rising (66/1), Star Citizen (100/1)

DESERT DREAM has proved consistent this campaign, deservingly back to winning ways over 7f here 11 days ago and he could be worth siding with to follow up eased back down in trip. Recent C&D 1-2 Portelet Bay and Final Account head up the dangers, along with Rain Cap who's enjoyed a productive season.
