Forecasts

Chestnutter (8/13), Eastern Wind (5/1), Princess Azure (5/1), Joe Masseria (13/2), Stormy Duchess (16/1), Stormy Sunday (22/1), Kalka River (150/1), Waiere Falls (200/1)

CHESTNUTTER holds a clear edge on form and looks to have been found a good opportunity to open her account at the fifth attempt. Jessica Harrington's debutant Princess Azure isn't without interest though, especially if the market speaks in her favour, while Eastern Wind appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
