Forecast
True Self (6/4), Alwaysandforever (6/1), Mistress Quickly (8/1), Galmarley (9/1), Altra Vita (10/1), High Language (10/1), Mam'selle (12/1), Trouble And Strife (14/1), Roystonia (25/1), Cascabel (25/1), Jet Streaming (33/1), Graceland (40/1), Luire (66/1), Reckless Wave (125/1)
Verdict
Alwaysandforever sets a good standard on the best of her Listed form for last year's winning stable but if the ground gets too testing then she may be vulnerable. The more rain the better for HIGH LANGUAGE who looks to have a good race in her over this sort of trip and arrives fresher than most. Mistress Quickly is such a likeable filly and deserves to land a race like this. It's not inconceivable that the highly progressive Altra Vita will find the extra needed to be win again and she'll make a bold bid from the front. True Self is hard to weigh up but her maiden win was certainly stylish and she adds further intrigue. Graceland shouldn't be discounted for a place.
