Forecasts

Provocateuse (13/8), Dixie Bluebell (9/2), Resourceful Man (9/2), Buzz Of New York (15/2), Young Angel (9/1), Linda Barrett (12/1), Massaman (16/1), Shikoko (33/1), Dynakite (33/1), Professor Rocket (33/1), Hero Of The Hour (50/1), Nana Patsy (50/1), Liberty Star (80/1), Only Jack (150/1)

PROVOCATEUSE showed plenty in three runs last season and is fancied to get off the mark on this return to action. Of the opposition, Resourceful Man is expected to build on his debut effort, while Young Angel is an interesting newcomer who requires a check in the betting.
