Forecasts

Allonsy (2/1), Pique' (5/2), Gold Aura (15/2), Opec (15/2), Mrembo (8/1), Kehlani (11/1), Gentle Whinny (11/1), Shalfa (12/1), Kissininthebackrow (14/1), Naasma (25/1), Dream Selection (25/1), So Farhh So Good (28/1), Demanding Lilley (40/1), Parikarma (40/1)

PIQUE is bred to be much better than this grade and having shaped quite nicely in her qualifying runs over inadequate trips, a much-improved display looks on the cards here. Allonsy is another 3-y-o to consider, with Gentle Whinny perhaps the pick of the older bunch.
