Forecasts
Fields Of Fortune (15/8), Know Your Limit (4/1), Delfie Lane (8/1), Glenys The Menace (8/1), Masterofdiscovery (17/2), Claire's Secret (12/1), Moonstone Rock (16/1), Justice Frederick (18/1), Every Nice Girl (25/1), Latest Quest (28/1), Unzipped (33/1), Jasmincita (50/1), Intisha (66/1)
A few of these could be better than their latest efforts suggest. Every Nice Girl has made no show in her three starts to date but ought to be a different proposition now handicapping. She would be worth a market check as would Latest Quest. His best run came first time out last season and a similar showing here would make him hard to beat. Fields Of Fortune is another who failed to build on a promising debut and he has now been gelded. His stable and jockey are going well at present. Justice Frederick has claims on his Irish form and will be better for a recent run. For the selection DELFIE LANE has to be the pick given his proven wellbeing. A tendency to hang makes him a difficult ride and one which suggests the undulations at Lingfield, where he was beaten last time, may not suit him. He will get stronger handling here on a fairer track and that makes him a worthy selection.
- Delfie Lane
- Justice Frederick
- Fields Of Fortune
