Forecasts

Himmah (3/1), Optional Necessity (3/1), Big Bad Sal (10/3), Summer's Dream (11/2), Cimeara (10/1), Lustful (10/1), Shes Queen (12/1), Footstepinparadise (20/1), Lady Evanna (66/1), Dianthus (100/1), Chirpy (100/1)

Verdict

Old rivals Big Bad Sal and Himmah set a decent enough standard and set the standard from those with experience. However, CIMEARA won't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an immediate impact and Jim Bolger's well-bred newcomer gets a speculative nod to get off the mark at the first time of asking. She Queen has a bit to find but ran respectably on debut and could also get involved in the scrap for minor honours if suited by the additional furlong.
  1. Cimeara
  2. Big Bad Sal
  3. Himmah
