F Betting Forecast: EVENS Porter In The Park (IRE), 3-1 Spring Note (IRE), 4-1 Passing Reflection (GB), 10-1 Anti Bridgie (IRE)

Race Summary: PORTER IN THE PARK is going the right way and boasts strong claims in her bid to resume winning ways. Spring Note is a potential improver and Passing Reflection is a potential improver also if she settles.
