Forecasts

Poetic Music (15/8), La Renommee (11/4), Malaita (7/2), Passing Reflection (11/2), Pougne Aminta (11/1), Kalpaga (14/1), It's Easy (40/1), Fortunefavorsdbold (80/1)

Verdict

POETIC MUSIC is a likeable mare who has been prolific to date and should take to the larger obstacles, so she gets the nod over La Renommee, who has a lot more chasing experience than her rivals. Malaita is another one to consider.

  1. POETIC MUSIC
  2. LA RENOMMEE (FR)
  3. MALAITA
