Forecasts

Clemmie (6/4), Butterscotch (3/1), Too Familiar (4/1), Sometimesadiamond (8/1), Gasta (11/1), Fille Du Septembre (20/1), Mamba Noire (25/1), Drombeg Dream (66/1)

Verdict

The key piece of form here may well be TOO FAMILIAR's defeat of Gasta over shorter at this course last time. Both fillies impressed with their performances in that race and both, in particular the selection, have the scope to improve further in their first foray into Group company. The winner that day is just preferred to confirm form, but she won't find it easy with some promising types in this field, including Butterscotch, who appears to be her trainer's second string here but has progressed nicely through her juvenile career so far.
