Forecasts

Elusif (3/1), Twice As Likely (7/2), Split Elevens (5/1), Twentysharesofgrey (5/1), First Verse (5/1), South Carolina (15/2), Whistling Sands (15/2), Big Bard (12/1), Somekindasuperstar (14/1), Ocean Wilde (25/1), Paymaster (40/1), Hurricane Alert (125/1)

FIRST VERSE wasn't beaten far over C&D last month before failing to stay the 7f trip here a couple of weeks later. Dropping back to 6f, she could gain a first career success. Elusif has to be respected if turning out again quickly. Whistling Sands looks the best of the remainder.
