Forecasts

So Lonely (2/1), Pardon Me (3/1), Oriental Flame (5/1), Millarville (7/1), Oriental Cross (14/1), Marlow Moss (16/1), See Forever (20/1), Dancecraft (25/1), Perle's An Icon (33/1), Hurricane Minnie (66/1), Hot Smoked (100/1)

Verdict

SO LONELY was up against it on first run since coming from Ireland and her placed efforts read well enough in this weak company. Millarville is surely capable of better and can show the benefit of a wind operation while Oriental Flame is back in more realistic company now and completes the short list.
  1. So Lonely
  2. Millarville
  3. Oriental Flame
