Forecasts

Galileo Springs (1/1), Our Girl Ellie (3/1), Jazzy Rock (7/2), Baile Mhisteala (13/2), Crystabel (8/1), Pearl Of Shirocco (20/1), Run For Power (28/1), Maggie's Banter (50/1), Amburana (150/1), Lake Okeechobee (200/1), Strand Street Lass (200/1)

Though CRYSTABEL was beating a retreat and held in fourth place when falling at the final flight here last time, that was an encouraging effort nonetheless. Indeed, she led the way for a good chunk of the journey on that occasion and did well to last as long as she did having raced freely. The John Ryan-trained filly is taken to build on that and get the better of Galileo Springs, who sets the standard on form, while Jazzy Rock and Our Girl Ellie are strong each-way candidates.
