Forecasts

Libby Ami (11/4), Visibility (3/1), Homer Stokes (9/2), Defence Treaty (5/1), Jewel Maker (7/1), Global Acclaim (16/1), Muhalhel (20/1), Headshot (33/1), Six Strings (33/1)

LIBBY AMI was a bit better than the result here last time and is fancied to cement her fine start for this stable by landing a second C&D win of the winter. Visibility could pose a big threat if this doesn't come too soon after his run here on Friday. Jewel Maker completes the shortlist.
