Forecasts

Saratoga Special (5/4), Powerful Nation (11/4), Shamrock Breeze (4/1), Amazing Athena (13/2), Lady With The Lamp (12/1), Ohmyviette (50/1), Unique Journey (100/1), Sienna Grey (125/1)

SARATOGA SPECIAL failed to land the odds at Navan 3 weeks ago but she didn't do much wrong and is worth another chance trying a surface she's bred to relish. The penalised Powerful Nation went close in a listed race at Tipperary in July and is the obvious threat back down in class.
