Forecasts

Native Queen (4/7), Solar Breeze (9/2), Nel (13/2), Vadiana (7/1), Pilbara Gold (10/1), Scipio's Defense (33/1), Fairy Love (150/1), Meoulflower (200/1), Dramatic Dawn (200/1)

It's highly likely NATIVE QUEEN would have gone very close had the gaps appeared when keeping on well for third in a big-field Fairyhouse maiden (7f) 10 days ago, and with potential for better still, she can deservedly get off the mark at the fourth attempt. Nel is an intriguing newcomer for Ger Lyons and market confidence behind her would look significant. Solar Breeze completes the shortlist.
