Forecasts

Rough Diamond (3/1), Princess Sela (10/3), Half Nutz (9/2), Hypernova (6/1), Mickey The Steel (13/2), Gegenpressing (10/1), Scarlet Dancer (10/1), Plunkett (11/1), Warrior Brave (12/1), Verhoyen (14/1), Magniffico (16/1), Fastar (25/1), Downforce (25/1), Sunset Nova (33/1), Furnace Creek (33/1), Only Spoofing (50/1)

Plenty in with a shout with the narrow vote in favour of ROUGH DIAMOND. He ran well when midfield in a stronger affair at the Curragh on his latest outing 24 days ago and, having been eased in the weights subsequently, it would come as no surprise to see him feature. Princess Sela, Hypernova and Half Nutz are others fancied to be in the shake up.
