Forecasts

Fountain Of Time (6/4), Talaaqy (11/4), No More Thrills (9/2), Mesquite (5/1), Melodies (10/1), Indicia (16/1), Zoraya (20/1)

Fountain Of Time and Tallaqy are unbeaten but the former has work to do from this mark and the latter has won two slowly run affairs. Melodies second start represents stronger form but she has to concede a fitness advantage and preference is for MESQUITE. Ralph Beckett's filly is well-bred and showed the benefit of a wind operation last time. She should be even better at this longer trip and the stable have been going well.
