Forecasts

Even So (5/6), Raven's Cry (9/2), Lemista (8/1), Blissful (8/1), Kiss For A Jewel (12/1), Hamariyna (16/1), Cerro Bayo (25/1), Annie Fior (66/1), Miss Myers (100/1)

Verdict

EVEN SO looks a useful prospect and is taken to reverse Tipperary placings with Blissful who, nevertheless, is strongly respected. Raven's Cry also finished behind the Ballydoyle filly last season but could prove a bigger threat today, while the selection's stablemate Lemista is another to consider. Hamariyna looks the pick of the older runners.
  1. Even So
