Forecasts

Marsa (2/1), Sangria (5/2), Satin Snake (6/1), Cedro (11/1), Obtain (12/1), Lopes Gold (12/1), Benevolent (16/1), Mary Pickersgill (18/1), Pandemic Princess (20/1), Jedi Power (33/1), Pilbara Gold (50/1), Daintree (66/1), Medal Of Glory (100/1)

MARSA came from further back than ideal to open her account in a steadily-run contest here last week, so a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Sangria was first past in the post in a similar event over C&D 3 weeks ago, but was later disqualified after her rider failed to claim the correct allowance. She remains unexposed, with Jedi Power completing the shortlist.
