Betting Forecast: 9-2 Tequila Blaze (GB), 5-1 Gran Luna (FR), So Said I (GB), 8-1 La Domaniale (FR), 10-1 Shirocco’s Dream (IRE), 11-1 Shantou Sunset (GB), 12-1 Lady Kk (IRE), Misty Bloom (IRE), 14-1 Go Chique (FR) Race Summary: TEQUILA BLAZE cemented a positive start to her handicap career when second to a next-time-out winner at Kempton in December and unexposed over this trip she could be the answer. So Said I is going the right way and is second choice, while Gran Luna is a huge threat if her stamina holds.
