Forecasts

Sunshine Soul (1/1), Diamont Katie (9/2), Suzuka (11/2), Cemlyn (6/1), Toughly (7/1), Dream Illusion (25/1), Star Zia (40/1), Shanessa (50/1), Adaay's Grace (100/1), California Fling (200/1), Holywell Bay (400/1)

SUZUKA shaped well from a poor position when fourth here on debut and she should have benefited from the experience, so she gets the nod over Diamont Katie, who looks an interesting newcomer on paper for a top yard. Sunshine Soul has the best form but is potentially vulnerable with her level already established.
