Forecasts

Three On Thursday (9/4), Desiderata (5/2), El Ghaawy (11/2), Twoforthegutter (6/1), Virtual Hug (13/2), Maywedance (10/1), Bigz Belief (11/1), Busby (11/1), Glenridding (14/1)

THREE ON THURSDAY has been holding her form very well since her last win and rates the most solid option. Twoforthegutter ended last season at the top of her game and is feared if ready to go, while Desiderata should be thereabouts again back in a handicap.
