Forecasts

Back Down Under (5/2), Clarita (3/1), Anvika (9/2), Manhattan Dreamer (15/2), Beautiful Dawn (8/1), Abiding Star (12/1), Excilla (12/1), Blame Thechampagne (22/1), Katie Bairdie (25/1), Limoncello Lady (25/1), Lorr's Girl (25/1), Valkyrja (28/1), Pocket Paralysis (100/1), Mary Bagot (125/1), Sophia Klimt (200/1)

The market should prove a good guide in this maiden but BACK DOWN UNDER holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to get off the mark reverted to maiden company. Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Beautiful Dawn could emerge as the chief threat, especially if the market vibes are positive, although Gavin Cromwell's filly Clarita has the form to play a part too.
