Forecasts

Aldrich Bay (11/8), Beat The Breeze (9/4), Tanqeeb (9/2), Bird To Love (5/1), Libbretta (13/2), Amanto (13/2), Double Legend (20/1), Birkie Queen (28/1), Wally's Wisdom (50/1), Bo Taifan (150/1)

BEAT THE BREEZE has thrived in handicaps in recent months, completing the hat-trick over C&D 17 days ago. He looks sure to go well again and can complete the 4-timer. Fellow 3-y-o Aldrich Bay and Tanqeeb are others to consider.
