Forecasts

Chicago Lightening (5/2), Sistine Madonna (3/1), Sister Bridget (7/2), Havana Pearl (9/2), Baroness Blixen (16/1), Gericho (16/1), De Puntitas (16/1), Tawny Coster (20/1), Button Up Holly (22/1), Lizzy's Filly (50/1), Feature This (50/1), Lamprog (50/1), Forgetmenotblue (66/1), Griseo (100/1), Aristovic (250/1), Danmars Rogue (300/1)

SISTINE MADONNA is a well-bred sort who showed plenty of ability on her recent debut, so with improvement anticipated over this 1f longer trip, she gets the nod. Sister Bridget and Chicago Lightening are considered the main threats.
