Forecasts

Rockfish (9/4), A Few Bob Short (4/1), Art Of America (9/2), Just Sherry (5/1), Wichita Line (12/1), Lady Boomerang (16/1), Eos (16/1), Cache Queen (20/1), Finvarra (25/1), New Vocation (28/1), Moonstone Rose (33/1), Candle In The Wind (66/1), Trixiemay (66/1)

Verdict

The improving ROCKFISH should stay on the upgrade for Joseph O'Brien and Oaks-winning rider Donnacha. That being the case he is likely to confirm the C&D placings with Just Sherry from last week. John Feane's filly is not likely to cave in without a fight however. A Few Bob Short will have place claims while Art Of America and Cache Queen are potential improvers.
