Forecasts

Mighty Goddess (7/4), Solo Diva (4/1), Springer (13/2), Zenobia's Gold (7/1), Canford Rose (15/2), Bushveld (8/1), Play With Fire (17/2), Free In Seattle (11/1), Lorna Lilly (33/1)

Verdict

PLAY WITH FIRE has run several good races recently and is just about the pick in this field. Mighty Goddess seems the leading threat, while Zenobia's Gold is another that merits respect.
