Forecasts

Successful Secret (5/2), Princess Sabrina (9/2), Bethel (13/2), True Brit (7/1), Looking Hot (8/1), Grindelwald (9/1), Eastbrook (12/1), Hear The Trumpet (12/1), Veneta (14/1), Bridge Of Spies (20/1), Gin And Tonic (22/1), Caruso (22/1), Leslie Shadowliner (33/1), Mercer Girl (40/1), Princess Queen (40/1)

LOOKING HOT turned in a career best effort last time out and sets the bar high. Princess Sabrina is the rational second choice, while Hear The Trumpet is another with the potential to figure.
