Forecasts

Kew Gardens (4/6), Freetown (3/1), Dawn Hoofer (6/1), Militry Decoration (7/1), Tonkin (25/1), Peace Princess (33/1), Danehill Quest (50/1), Lucia's Bob (66/1)

Militry Decoration will take the field along here, with DAWN HOOFER and Lucia's Bob in behind. The poor form of the O'Brien two-year-olds at this meeting over the last four years, prompt's a shot at the Jim Bolger runner, who made a decent debut, when second of 11 at Naas.
