Forecasts

Hawthorn (11/10), Viva Le Bleu (6/1), Mary Lee (6/1), Sheza Rockstar (8/1), Lateral's Flash (9/1), Run Florist Run (11/1), Lady Quin (14/1), Close To My Heart (16/1), Doubled Over (16/1), Hopeful (33/1), Over Count (40/1), Oratorina (40/1), Lady Of Choice (40/1)

SHEZA ROCKSTAR is just about the safest pick after a creditabe second over C&D 17 days ago. Mary Lee is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Run Florist Run is another who could figure.
