Forecasts

Bluella (85/40), Loulin (5/2), Amazing Amaya (13/2), Raabeh (15/2), Navajo Dawn (8/1), George Thomas (14/1), Time To Reason (14/1), Sweet Talked (22/1), Your Choice (33/1), San Juan (125/1)

NAVAJO DAWN didn't fare too badly here on her penultimate start and is worth siding with to stage a revival having dipped to a mark lower than when scoring twice over C&D at the beginning of the year. Bluella, who is fresh for the time of year, is another with C&D winning form and is respected for the Mick Appleby team. Loulin looks best of the rest.
