Forecasts

King Of Tsavo (7/2), Scampi (9/2), Moktasaab (9/2), Sea La Rosa (9/2), Liverpool Knight (17/2), In The Breeze (9/1), Reina Del Mar (10/1), Set Point (10/1), Oriental Art (11/1), Sonning (12/1), Gustav Holst (22/1)

REINA DEL MAR is a progressive type who looked well suited by this trip when opening her account over C&D 3 weeks ago from Scampi and, with more to come, she's fancied to follow up despite facing stiffer competition. King of Tsavo shaped encouragingly last time and strikes as a danger along with Oriental Art.
