Forecasts

Concertista (2/1), Elimay (9/4), Mount Ida (5/2), Zambella (10/1), Vienna Court (14/1), Scarlet And Dove (28/1), Pink Legend (33/1), Maid O'Malley (100/1)

Verdict

ELIMAY had to settle for second behind a very classy stablemate in the inaugural running of this but can go one better now. Mount Ida beat the selection at Fairyhouse in January but there is a worry she'll jump out to her right back on a left-handed track. She got away with it in the Kim Muir last year but may not do so against an opponent of Elimay's calibre. Concertista is best of the rest.
