Forecasts

Crocodile Power (9/4), Harbour Storm (5/2), Come On Linda (10/1), Wiff Waff (11/1), Posh Girl (11/1), Major J (12/1), Siglo Six (12/1), Maid Millie (16/1), Sam Bellamy (16/1), Beryl The Peril (20/1), Blackthirtyone (28/1)

POSH GIRL is relatively lightly raced and she's dropping into a class six for the first time in her career. Not disgraced in better quality fillies' handicaps recently, she should be able to get off the mark at this level. Harbour Storm was well backed last time and he is lurking on a dangerous mark. Siglo Six is another class dropper that warrants respect off a handy looking mark.
