Forecasts

Sunday Smart (9/4), Daliyah (9/4), Machiavelli (6/1), Highway To Heaven (7/1), Russian Campaign (8/1), Bronagh's Belle (10/1), Bronze Age (18/1), La Vestale (33/1), Sagittarius Rising (100/1), Lucia's Bob (100/1), Feyan (100/1), Venus Starr (100/1)

The luckless front runner DALIYAH is taken to out run the opposition in this competitive two-year-old maiden. The potential improving Sunday Smart and Highway To Heaven can give the selection the most to think about at the business end of proceedings.
