Forecasts

Never Ending Story (2/1), Zarinsk (11/2), Matilda Picotte (6/1), Tarawa (6/1), Impact Warrior (7/1), Ocean Quest (7/1), Madly Truly (8/1), Clever And Cool (8/1), Dame Kiri (9/1), Dower House (14/1), Thornbrook (16/1), Not Even Close (16/1), La Dolce Vita (28/1), Nightcliff (50/1)

Verdict

Plenty of potential on show here with TARAWA, who has just a maiden win to her name taken to make a leap forward on reappearance given her pedigree and connections. Aidan O'Brien-trained pair Never Ending Story and Dame Kiri are just a couple of potential threats.

  1. TARAWA (IRE)
  2. NEVER ENDING STORY (IRE)
  3. DAME KIRI (USA)
