Forecasts

Senescence (5/2), Phoenix (11/4), Miracle And Wonder (9/2), Birdwatcher (6/1), Virocana (7/1), Integrity (17/2), Legal Star (10/1), Flying First Class (12/1), Big City Girl (14/1), Bold Fortune (28/1), Ideal Angel (28/1), Encore (33/1), Anatura (40/1), Tequila (80/1), Crime Scene (80/1)

SENESCENCE has been hard to fault in recent races and looks the one they all have to beat. Birdwatcher could be the one to benefit if the selection underperforms, while Legal Star has a good shout of a share of the minor money.
