Forecasts

Musical Rhapsody (10/3), Instrumental (10/3), Antilia (5/1), Lucky Queen (5/1), Ta Na La (8/1), A Shin Undine (9/1), Princess Wannabe (11/1), Insulate (12/1), Steps In The Sand (14/1), Lex Maxima (16/1), Jackandthefox (22/1), White Strand (40/1), Portarlington (40/1)

INSTRUMENTAL has his 7 lb rise for last week's course success offset by his rider's claim and might be able to go in again if showing up in similar form. Lucky Queen has been a model of consistency in turf handicaps since the end of the summer and could pose a threat if continuing the good work back on AW. Antilia was a bit disappointing on her handicap debut but should have some mileage off this sort of mark based on her penultimate Bellewstown third.
