Forecasts

Just Janet (5/2), Union Joy (11/4), Galaxy Gazer (9/2), Aire Valley Apache (17/2), River Usk (9/1), Washington Heights (10/1), Lola's Moment (16/1), Carvetii (22/1), Titch Smith (40/1), Girl From Italy (50/1)

GALAXY GAZER took a big step forward from her debut when runner-up at Haydock 18 days ago and a reproduction of that effort may well be good enough to see her prevail. Union Joy, River Usk and Aire Valley Apache are a trio of likely sorts on paper, though, and require close market attention.
