Forecasts

Betty's Tiara (4/1), Lady Jago (4/1), Lady In The Park (9/2), Just A Memory (6/1), Coco Brave (9/1), Sweet Honey B (10/1), Rula Bula (11/1), Sunset Marquesa (12/1), Tellitasitis (12/1), Just Call Me Lucy (22/1), French Highlands (40/1)

LADY JAGO was successful on her only start between the flags and makes plenty of appeal now switched to Rules. Fellow point winner Lady In The Park is an obvious threat and Betty's Tiara is a player if taking her chance.
