Forecasts

Fleetingly (10/11), Harbour Gem (5/2), Wendla (11/2), Mo Ghille Mar (7/1), Kansai (16/1), Boskill Carmel (33/1), Billie Frechette (40/1), Lavender Haze (66/1), Chick Flick (80/1), I'll Rise (150/1)

FLEETINGLY is by Justify out of connections' very smart Alice Springs so this Group 1 entered filly has the right profile to make a winning start. Harbour Gem showed a good level of ability when placed in maidens at Thurles and Leopardstown so is the obvious threat, while Wendla is also bred in the purple and is worth another chance to confirm debut promise.
