Forecasts

Head Mistress (11/4), Loveday (4/1), Strapped (5/1), Zebelle (13/2), Harmony Rose (10/1), Albion Square (11/1), Money Tree (11/1), Threebagsfull (12/1), Orinoco River (14/1), Arges (66/1), Kimbah (150/1)

Verdict

HEAD MISTRESS quickened up well once in the clear to overhaul the long-time leader late on at Down Royal on her debut 3 weeks ago and can take this step up in grade in her stride and win again. Strapped is well respected back in calmer waters following a good run in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes last week, while Loveday is another solid contender.
