Forecasts

Fratas (7/4), Dalliances (4/1), Kermiya (6/1), Skyquake (13/2), Timeless Piece (8/1), Jazz Forever (8/1), Fanaigi Linn (10/1)

It might be worth chancing the well-bred KERMIYA to improve past some of these more exposed rivals. Fratas rates an obvious danger on the back of her recent Galway win, while Skyquake is another low-mileage filly who may not have reached her limit.
