Forecasts

Grand Pianola (8/11), Exotic Escape (11/2), Contingency Fee (7/1), Judgment Of Paris (15/2), Little India (10/1), Going Native (22/1), Thecornishbarron (150/1)

GRAND PIANOLA ran another fine race on fibresand here 2 weeks ago and looks worth keeping onside despite a 3 lb rise. Little India has won on this surface before and is entitled to come on for her first start for a new yard, so is selected for the forecast.
