Forecasts

Sangria (3/1), Independent Expert (7/2), Havana Pearl (5/1), Hey Kameir (11/2), Scipio's Defense (8/1), Rose Of Malta (16/1), Susan's Pass (18/1), Lakewood (20/1), Lady Bear (22/1), Portville (28/1), Kodis Well (33/1), Rosbrien Dream (50/1), Bengal Dancer (66/1), Pink Sky At Night (150/1)

INDEPENDENT EXPERT stepped up from debut when unlucky to bump into an above-average pair here 3 weeks ago and she looks capable of winning one of these. Sangria disappointed last time but she lost a race only on a technicality here the time before so needs considering back in a maiden, while Hey Kameir still looked rough around the edges when second over C&D 9 days ago.
