Forecasts

Zarinsk (11/5), Tarawa (3/1), Honey Girl (11/2), Salt Lake City (11/2), Lord Massusus (7/1), Power Under Me (11/1), Cosmic Vega (20/1), Montesilvano (20/1), Real Appeal (40/1), Snapraeterea (66/1), Alexander John (200/1)

A case can be made for lots of these but POWER UNDER ME goes well fresh and just holds the edge on form so is taken to follow up his Amethyst success here in May. Zarinsk is feared most on the back of her Brownstown win at Fairyhouse, with Honey Girl and Tarawa both in the picture too.
