Forecasts

Lucy Belle (6/4), Just Judy (5/2), Dynamic Lass (7/2), Spanish Song (12/1), Shikuru (14/1), Apple Drop (18/1), Ancestral Prayer (25/1), Riveting (25/1), Velvet Jet (28/1), Devilish Dancer (33/1), Exultant (33/1), Diamond Star (33/1), Mandhukai (50/1), Mariposa (66/1), Eaglette (66/1), Ice Dancer (80/1)

SPANISH SONG is easily the best of these on form and is a straightforward selection. Just Judy could be the one to capitalise if the selection underperforms, while Lucy Belle is prominent among those with minor place claims.
