Forecasts

Pessoa (1/1), Bungle Bay (7/4), Heavenly Fire (10/3), Artificer (15/2), Perfect Curves (9/1), Porfin (18/1), Till It Shines (18/1), Too Much Too Young (20/1), The Toff (28/1), Anamika (28/1), Speed Court (66/1)

HEAVENLY FIRE wasn't seen to best effect despite coming in third over C&D recently so is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and gain her breakthorugh victory. Both Pessoa (second choice) and Bungle Bay are multiple C&D scorers and rate major threats. Anamika completes the shortlist.
