Forecasts

Mick's Spirit (10/3), Porfin (9/2), Amasova (11/2), Cuban Breeze (13/2), The Tron (13/2), Portelet Bay (7/1), Autumn Trail (8/1), Big Time Maybe (10/1), Snow Berry (10/1), Shamshon (20/1), Street Parade (22/1)

A very competitive sprint handicap to kick the card off. A chance is taken on CUBAN BREEZE having her first start for Dave Evans. The yard does well with horses from other yards and she is on a career-low mark. Mick's Spirit has been consistent of late and he'll be a danger. Autumn Trail could offer some each-way value too.
