Forecasts

Celtic Revival (9/2), Nyla Rua (5/1), Finke River (6/1), Hot Sunset (13/2), Clarinbridge (7/1), Plankton (8/1), Princess Azure (17/2), Helmet Star (10/1), Slamadoor (18/1), Suityourselfboss (18/1), Millyupdahilly (18/1), Hardly Useless (20/1), Wished (20/1), Casino Queen (20/1), Lisamaria (20/1), Deuteronomy (25/1), Flier (40/1), Dahomey (50/1)

NYLA RUA will need luck given her style of running but she's in better form than recent form figures suggest and, from a further reduced mark, could well be worth chancing to put it all together. Celtic Revival, Clarinbridge and Wished, returning from a break, head up the dangers.
