Forecasts
Lady Iman (4/7), Power Blue (5/2), True Love (12/1), Stop The Nation (16/1), Spring Is Here (25/1), Call Margot (100/1)
Decisive debut winners LADY IMAN and Power Blue are taken to fight out the finish, though newcomers True Love and Spring Is Here (in that order of preference) are also very interesting. If the market vibes surrounding one of those debutantes are particularly strong a rethink may be needed but, as things stand, the percentage call is to side with aforementioned duo. Lady Iman looked good when beating subsequent winner Stop The Nation, who renews rivalry here, at Dundalk and she is preferred.
