Forecasts

Rock Melody (1/1), Queen Aminatu (7/4), Rousay (4/1), Centrallia (11/2), River Pride (13/2), Anificas Beauty (8/1)

QUEEN AMINATU followed up from her Wolverhampton win in the style of a fast-improving filly on handicap bow at Lingfield and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Centrallia was runner-up in a decent Newmarket maiden before shaping as if amiss at Kempton so is worth another chance on handicap bow/return.
