Forecasts

Alpha Carinae (10/11), Aggy With It (11/10), Bourbon Beauty (7/1), Dame De Ruban (20/1), Serenisa (33/1)

ALPHA CARINAE maintained her unbeaten record in convincing fashion at Perth 3 weeks ago and, fully expected to leave the bare form of that behind, she's more than capable of defying a penalty. Aggy With It's reappearance second over 2m at this venue was promising and she looks the pick of the opposition.
