Forecasts

Arcanista (9/4), Harlequin Rose (5/1), Wild Flower (6/1), Time Medicean (6/1), Seaforth (8/1), Ocean Temptress (8/1), Live Dangerously (10/1), Racehorse (10/1), Born To Boogie (14/1), Perfect Pastime (25/1), Divine Call (25/1), Suni Dancer (33/1)

HARLEQUIN ROSE ran well to place here last time out and she is taken to record her second career victory in what looks a competitive handicap. The selection has won once and placed twice from three starts here and she can take this at the chief expense of Seaforth who should fare better than when held on the AW last time. Third place can go to the veteran Time Medicean who is dropping back down in grade.
