Forecasts

Dawn Surprise (7/4), Sugarbush (3/1), Sign Of Fate (7/1), Moscow Miss (7/1), Queen Braganza (8/1), Captain's Pride (17/2), Shimmering (11/1), Bella Valentina (12/1)

DAWN SURPRISE was much improved in her latest run and is well up to winning this. Moscow Miss could be the one to capitalise if the selection underperforms, while Sign of Fate might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
