Forecasts

Yulong Gold Fairy (5/4), Xenobia (11/4), Lightening Quick (9/2), Iiex Excelsa (12/1), Broadway (14/1), Dawn Delivers (16/1)

Verdict

Better will be expected from the well bred Broadway at some point but this is a big ask on her third start. Xenobia won really well on her seasonal return and progresses from handicap company. Lightening quick is another with potential to improve this year. The selection is YULONG GOLD FAIRY who ran really well on her return at Leopardstown and can go one better today.
  1. Yulong Gold Fairy
  2. Lightening Quick
  3. Xenobia
