Forecasts

Precious Plum (5/1), Le Manege Enchante (6/1), Kyllukey (6/1), Alaskan Bay (6/1), Always Amazing (7/1), Flying Foxy (8/1), Royal Mezyan (8/1), Dubai Elegance (12/1), Tiger Lyon (14/1), Midnight Guest (14/1), Good Business (16/1), John Joiner (16/1)

PRECIOUS PLUM can register her second C&D victory of the year by taking this competitive opening sprint handicap. The selection ran well when badly drawn here last time out and she can take this ahead of Kyllukey who was a winner here last month. Third place can go to Always Amazing who has been running well in defeat in recent starts.
