Forecasts

Saratoga Special (2/5), Snapdragon (11/4), Passing Phase (6/1), Town And Country (15/2), Island Girl (20/1), Annie Lavinia (33/1), Parkside Prince (100/1), Dmaniac (100/1), Fedal (100/1), Hi George (125/1)

SARATOGA SPECIAL sets the bar high for a race like this on her recent second in a Curragh listed contest and should get off the mark at the third time of asking. Snapdragon and the selection's stablemate Passing Phase can fill the places.
