Lifting Sails (4/5), Onaqui (4/1), Kasgani (5/1), Likewhatyousee (11/2), Stone Rulya (9/1), Jr Mahon (10/1), Royal Impact (12/1), Kilcrea Rock (14/1), Mcloughlin (50/1), Bobby Kirova (50/1), Cala Gracioneta (125/1), Eastern Blue Bird (150/1), San Franco (250/1)

By no means a deep maiden, so a good opportunity for LIFTING SAILS, who's shown plenty of ability on both her starts to date. Kasgani and Jr Mahon could be the pair to fill the places.
