Forecasts

Tic Tac Toe (3/1), Spirit Of Eagles (4/1), My Girl Sioux (9/2), American In Paris (9/2), Jackie Brown (5/1), Distillate (11/2), She's Local (11/2), Redshore City (15/2), Sneddy Eddie (15/2), Kami (11/1), Daughteroffortune (14/1), Allie Bear (18/1), New Route (28/1), Strath Dancer (33/1)

JACKIE BROWN confirmed the promise of her previous run when off the mark at Fairyhouse in June. She beat a subsequent winner that day so looks capable of defying a 3 lb rise. Last-time-out winners Spirit of Eagles and American In Paris are feared most.
