Forecasts

Billie Frechette (15/8), Mo Ghille Mar (7/2), Navy Waters (18/5), Sissi (5/1), Fortuna Vera (13/2), Alba Chiara (10/1), Pearl Jewel (14/1), No Niki No (18/1), Master Sydney (33/1), Riviera Queen (33/1)

BILLIE FRECHETTE looks primed to go one better after an unlucky second over this course 24 days ago when denied a run early in the straight. Mo Ghille Mar, a C&D winner in July, should appreciate dropping back to handicap company with cheekpieces reapplied, while Navy Waters was again not seen to best effect at Galway last time.
