Forecasts

Cresta De Vega (11/10), Fine Balance (7/2), Momaer (6/1), Pysanka (6/1), Game Nation (6/1), Stan (50/1), Apache Portia (100/1), Ivy Rosie (200/1)

The vote goes to FINE BALANCE, a well-bred sort who'll benefit from a return to 7f. Momaer has shown a fair level of ability on both her starts to date and should give her running, with Cresta de Vega requiring a market check back from 14 months off.
