Forecasts

Magic Day (2/1), Speculatrix (11/4), Ufouria (7/2), Billie Frechette (4/1), Midnight Eagle (14/1), Diamond Approach (14/1), Where's Nanny (18/1), Conflict Lady (40/1), Kates Choice (66/1), Creadan Grace (100/1), Great Bird (125/1), Dafhney Blue (150/1), Neska Blue (200/1), Anni Day Now (200/1)

A excellent chance for SPECULATRIX to make amends for her last-flight fall at Navan last time when set to win. Magic Day is next best ahead of Ufouria in a thin event.
