Forecasts

Ocasio Cortez (2/1), Carmel (2/1), Special Secret (9/2), Hashtagmetoo (10/1), Mild Illusion (12/1), Hollywood Waltz (14/1), Rich Girl (14/1), Whispering Leaves (33/1), Lightning Bug (50/1), The Red Witch (50/1), Jane Victoria (50/1)

By far the safest option here is recent winner OCASIO CORTEZ despite her penalty for that very comfortable success. Of the six debutantes Carmel appeals the most given the way Archie Watson's two-year-olds have been going especially with Oisin Murphy booked. Whispering Leaves may prove best of the rest.
