Forecasts

Minnie Hauk (4/6), Saddadd (18/5), Almaqam (13/2), Bay City Roller (15/2), Green Impact (18/1), Royal Rhyme (33/1), Edward Hamilton (66/1), Tiberius Thunder (250/1)

Verdict

This may not be MINNIE HAUK's optimum distance but she was outstanding as a 3-y-o and has had an ideal preparation for this. Saddadd, Almaqam and Bay City Roller are all worthy opposition to the selection, Saddadd arguably having the most potential of the trio.

  1. MINNIE HAUK (IRE)
