Forecasts

Ashwiyaa (4/11), Byzantine Empress (13/2), Making Time (7/1), Smart Impression (12/1), Bella Colombia (25/1), Masonbrook Meadow (28/1), Avanti Avana (28/1), Special Angel (33/1), Hispanolita (33/1), Go On Go On Uhavit (50/1), Retirement Package (50/1), Soiree Dansante (80/1), Promo Queen (250/1)

ASHWIYAA showed improved form when third in a Group 2 at the Curragh early last month and ought to be capable of winning a race of this nature on that showing. Making Time could get her career back on track now returning to calmer waters after a break, while Smart Impression isn't without hope either having shaped quite well on both her starts to date.
