Forecasts

Ceanndana (4/1), Will You Win (11/2), General Clermont (11/2), Latest Model (7/1), Florey Spud (15/2), Rossies Tara (15/2), Joshua Chamberlain (17/2), Moyvilla Lass (9/1), True Destiny (10/1), She's Tobias (10/1), Cassarina Gold (14/1), Robindevidastar (14/1), Wild Caprice (25/1), Double Jubilee (40/1), Deo Bellator (50/1), Velvet Reel (125/1)

Lots with chances. Handicap debutante SHE'S TOBIAS is fancied to take a sizeable step forward on her second run for her current yard now her stamina is drawn out more so edges the vote. Latest Model figures on a handy-looking mark and is rated next best, while the unexposed Cassarina Gold is another likely improver and warrants plenty of respect too.
