Forecasts

Devoted Queen (11/4), Friendly Soul (10/3), Soprano (7/2), Sirona (6/1), Doom (15/2), Naomi Lapaglia (16/1), Thornbrook (22/1), Julia Augusta (50/1)

The Gosdens' FRIENDLY SOUL is fancied to put her Musidora flop firmly behind her and belatedly confirm herself a very smart filly. Charlie Appleby's unbeaten Devoted Queen presents a major threat however with more progress on the cards, while Soprano and Sirona come here in top form and shouldn't be underestimated either in a fascinating Group 3.
