Forecasts

Clarita (9/4), Sweet Delta Dawn (9/4), Step It Out (7/2), Labhaoise (6/1), Buckhead Betty (14/1), Go Girl Go (18/1), Ragtime Milly (20/1), Soaring Free (33/1), Melody Bells (33/1), Pepper Noir (50/1), Abbey Actress (50/1), Miss Antino (100/1), Waystar (150/1), Get Your Groove On (150/1)

SWEET DELTA DAWN fared easily the best of the newcomers when runner-up in a big field at the Curragh in August and is narrowly preferred to Step It Out, who showed plenty to work on when second over this C&D last month. The selection's stablemate Buckhead Betty makes the most appeal of the newcomers.
