Forecasts

Queen Mia (9/4), Ritchie Star (4/1), One Last Hug (13/2), Rosemay (13/2), Royal Countess (12/1), Havana Go (12/1), Poyle George Two (12/1), My Valentino (12/1), Evolutionary (20/1)

A very weak race where Rosemay is the obvious pick given her last two runs of last season, but she may be vulnerable after a break and it might be worth siding with HAVANA GO, who takes a marked step up in trip here. Given that his dam won over a similar distance, he may be able to step up on previous efforts and could come good. Ritchie Star and Queen Mia can both get competitive, while the handicapper is giving Evolutionary a big chance on her form of not that long ago.
