Forecasts

Mutabaahy (10/3), Ballyare (10/3), Secretfact (9/2), Duke Of Firenze (5/1), Chitra (9/1), Lord Of The Glen (10/1), Zulu Zander (11/1), Ventura Flame (18/1), Glenamoy Lad (20/1), Primo's Comet (20/1), Broughtons Flare (40/1)

CHITRA has an enviable strike rate for a sprint handicapper and she has fallen below her last winning mark. Perfectly berthed in stall one for her prominent style of racing, she will take all the beating. Ballyare will likely be closing on her late though and rates as the main danger. Mutabaahy can never be ruled out round here either.
