Forecasts

Theonewedreamof (9/4), Music Of Tara (4/1), Splashing Out (5/1), Sainte Dona (7/1), Sea Aster (15/2), Western Zara (15/2), Tankardstown Diva (14/1), Queen Jane (20/1)

SPLASHING OUT looks the way to go now stepping into handicap company on the back of a promising Tramore second last time out. The handily-weighted Theonewedreamof could emerge as the main danger, with Sea Aster also well in the mix if on her A-game.
