Forecasts

Abnaa (3/1), Engles Rock (3/1), Balqaa (4/1), Mabre (5/1), Blackjack (12/1), Sammy Sunshine (14/1), Velma (16/1), Possible Ambition (18/1), Cathayensis (28/1), Far From A Ruby (50/1)

Verdict

BALQAA is lightly raced for a 4-y-o but looks set to make up for lost time judged on her decisive C&D win last month. A 2 lb rise is lenient and she can go in again, probably at the chief expense of Engles Rock for all Sammy Sunshine is interesting for new connections.
