Forecasts

Speculatrix (4/6), Dollar Nolimit (10/3), Master Otis (9/1), Ballee (14/1), Blue Reed (14/1), Arc Eyes (20/1), The Correction (22/1), Jimmy The Bull (25/1), Colleen Danu (33/1), Dreamings Free (100/1), Justgetonwithit (150/1)

No form to go on and the betting will be revealing but it's hard to get away from Gordon Elliott's €115,000 filly SPECULATRIX as things stand. Dollar Nolimit and Colleen Danu are a couple of the other likely sorts on paper.
