Forecasts

Splicethemainbrace (6/4), Gimme's Lassie (9/2), Lovegrass (11/2), Winter Greeting (7/1), Song Of Myself (15/2), Three Rocks (10/1), Montelena (22/1), Woman Of Power (22/1), Ellorix (25/1), Sweetie Darling (28/1), Priscilla Maisey (33/1), Mythical Dream (33/1), Happy Holly (33/1), Sahara Cat (40/1)

LOVEGRASS improved greatly last time after below-par effort the time before and will be difficult to catch. Splicethemainbrace may be the best bet to follow the selection home, while Gimme's Lassie has place prospects as well.
