Forecasts

Aussie Girl (9/2), Funny Story (5/1), Queen Me (5/1), Marine Wave (11/2), Sophia's Starlight (11/2), Pink Crystal (7/1), Gale Force Maya (7/1), Secret Angel (9/1), Perdika (25/1), Radio Goo Goo (33/1), Silent Words (40/1), Rum Cocktail (40/1), Sweet Harmony (125/1)

A few with chances. MARINE WAVE shaped really well when third in a York handicap last time so at the likely odds is worth siding with to take this step up in class in her stride. Funny Story also arrives at the top of her game and is feared greatly along with form-choice Queen Me, who acquitted hersel well in York's Nunthorpe Stakes last time out.
