Forecasts

Jade De Grugy (1/7), Tareze (6/1), Cottesloe Sunshine (12/1), Stormalong (40/1), Ad Caelum (50/1), Femme Magnifique (100/1)

JADE DE GRUGY hasn't quite matched her Grade 1-winning hurdles form over fences yet but showed improvement when second in a Limerick Grade 2 recently and has been found an excellent opportunity. Tareze has been consistent rather than progressive in her chase career and can follow the selection home.
