Forecasts

Ballybrack Wood (9/4), Milk Market (9/2), Fameaftertheglory (9/2), Tankardstown Diva (11/2), Tramps Like Us (8/1), Hunting Brook (14/1), Malton Groove (14/1), Workforadime (16/1), Reversal (20/1), Killinure Lass (25/1), Custers Mistake (33/1), Military Hill (33/1)

Verdict

This could be the day when WORKFORADIME finally gets her head in front. She was a good second at Thurles when last seen in November and a reproduction of that effort would give her every chance. Tankardstown Diva hit the target at Down Royal recently and she is next on the list ahead of potential improvers Ballybrack Wood and Reversal.
