Forecasts

Ower Starlight (11/4), Tara (4/1), Jeanette May (11/2), Laurentia (6/1), Fast Danseuse (8/1), Dark Kris (8/1), Audit (14/1), Pensa Te (18/1), Guitar (25/1), Celestial Point (28/1), Risk Averse (28/1), Hannah's Return (33/1), Breguet Boy (50/1), Maid Of Aragon (66/1), Ascraeus (80/1), Vienna Poppy (100/1)

A maximum field means the draw may be a factor here, with OWER STARLIGHT, who is now on a basement mark, the tentative call from stall 1. The return to the AW will suit Laurentia and she's a threat, along with Dark Kris.
