Forecasts

Lady Kai (85/40), Friary Road (9/2), Louiescall (7/1), Party Dress (8/1), Walking On Glass (8/1), Curious Bride (17/2), Grappa Nonino (10/1), The Truant (10/1), Rich Belief (28/1), Takarengo (50/1), Supreme Law (150/1)

LADY KAI has shaped as if capable of defying her current mark on both starts this season, so she remains of plenty of interest. Last-time-out winner Curious Bride and Louiescall head the dangers.
