Forecasts

Miss Fairfax (9/4), Get A Tonic (10/3), Gazette Bourgeoise (9/2), So Said I (11/2), Holly Hartingo (8/1), Eureka Creek (10/1), Marsh Wren (11/1), Fonzerelli (18/1), Sweet Street (50/1), Starlyte (125/1)

MISS FAIRFAX unquestionably has more to offer as a stayer and looks tailor made for this type of contest, so she's taken to complete the hat-trick up in grade. Get A Tonic sets a clear standard on her latest effort at Warwick but has her stamina to prove on her first try at 3m, while Holly Hartingo has made a really promising start under Rules and is another interesting contender.
