Forecasts

Tilani (5/2), Chica Guerrera (11/4), Lily Parr (5/1), God The Highness (5/1), Sayidah New Bay (7/1), Blue Moon Boy (9/1), Timandi (28/1)

A case can be made for most of these but the vote goes to GOD THE HIGHNESS who shaped well when an unlucky-in-running fourth at Listowel recently and can gain his breakthrough success. Tilani figures on a handy-looking mark and is next on the list ahead of in-form duo Chica Guerrera and Blue Moon Boy.
