Forecasts

Celestial Point (11/10), Her Way (7/4), Smokey Malone (2/1), Bookmark (11/2), Arenas Del Tiempo (8/1)

CELESTIAL POINT's winning run came to an end at Yarmouth but the trip possibly stretched her that day and she can quickly resume winning ways back down in distance. Last-time-out scorers Smokey Malone and Her Way are big threats.
