Forecasts

African Beat (7/2), La Vie En Rose (5/1), Sure To Explore (5/1), Monaco Rose (6/1), Plage Depampelonne (13/2), Stepney (8/1), Inke (10/1), Tomorrow Mystery (11/1)

MONACO ROSE ran well when finishing third over further last time out and she is the selection to take this competitive looking fillies contest. The selection ran well when third on her only previous AW start and she can see off La Vie En Rose who has disappointed the last twice but should fare better here following a break whilst the consistent African Beat is respected and already has a placed effort to her name over this C&D in 2017.
