Forecasts

Aurora Butterfly (1/4), Taste The Salt (6/1), Detailed (7/1), Adelena (66/1)

Verdict

Just the four contenders but a promising maiden for the fillies nonetheless. It may come down to a shootout between the two daughters of Born To Sea with preference for AURORA BUTTERFLY given she has already demonstrated her talent on the track in two runs. She was not disgraced in Listed company 11 days ago and with fitness on her side can take this. The newcomer Taste The Salt is given plenty respect and with Heffernan booked to ride, market support would be heeded. Detailed didn't progress as hoped on her second run but the suspicion remains that she is capable of a good deal better.
  1. Aurora Butterfly
  2. Taste The Salt
  3. Detailed
