Forecasts

No Saint (9/4), Sugar Hill Babe (7/2), Pay For Adaay (5/1), Daley T (11/2), Deira Star (15/2), Dalby Forest (9/1), Billy's Joy (12/1), Congress (22/1), Lady Loveless (50/1), Unholy (250/1)

Despite going off a huge price, there seemed to be no fluke about SUGAR HILL BABE's runner-up effort in a C&D nursery 17 days ago and a repeat of that performance will see her tough to beat on these terms. Deira Star and last-time-out winner Pay for Adaay look the chief threats.
