Forecasts

Alto Sax (10/3), Cloud Seeker (7/2), Galician Girl (4/1), Gesture (9/2), Liberty Looming (17/2), Nedita (10/1), Moutarde (10/1), Zenato (18/1), Kiki Roberts (25/1), Gregorina (33/1), Waystar (66/1), So Diligent (100/1), Flippity Flop (100/1)

GALICIAN GIRL has improved switched to handicaps the last time, showcasing a decent turn of foot when opening her account over a mile here three weeks ago. She could have more to offer now upped in trip and a 9 lb rise may not be enough to prevent her from going in again. Alto Sax rates the main danger, with potential improvers Liberty Looming and Waystar others to keep an eye on.
