Forecasts

Tarroob (10/11), Iris Bud (9/4), Alamora (6/1), Nation's Beauty (13/2), Ocean Beyond (66/1), Norwegian Red (200/1), Argent Bleu (300/1)

TARROOB shaped well on her debut earlier in the month on soft ground, looking as though more was to come. She should improve enough to win this event with that experience under her belt. Iris Bud has been running consistently in three starts and shouldn't be far away. Nation's Beauty is an interesting newcomer who may play a part.
