Forecasts

Battle It Out (2/7), Le Goom (12/1), Knockraha Lass (14/1), Shes So Glorious (14/1), Enoughofthat (18/1), Fromheretoeternity (20/1), Champagne Secret (22/1), Petite Mike (25/1), He's Home Again (33/1), Make No Plans (50/1), Ivy Park (150/1), Daring Sarah (150/1)

Not a deep race by any means so it provides BATTLE IT OUT with a golden opportunity to get off the mark. Fromheretoeternity failed to see her race out on Rules debut but she is a point winner so is the tentative forecast pick.
