Forecasts

American Sonja (9/4), Village Voice (4/1), Snowcapped (5/1), Cigamia (5/1), Indian Wish (6/1), Mashia (8/1), Giladah (10/1), Red Riding Hood (14/1), Dame Kiri (20/1), Flame Of Eire (40/1), Pale Iris (150/1)

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien could hold sway in this Group 3 with INDIAN WISH looking the way to go on the back of her career-best Killarney listed success. Stable companion American Sonja can boast course-winning form and is next on the list ahead of in-form pair Village Voice and Mashia.

  1. INDIAN WISH (FR)
  2. AMERICAN SONJA
  3. VILLAGE VOICE
