Forecasts

Separate (2/1), Astral Beau (3/1), Rose Barton (10/3), Nikki's Girl (11/2), Meydan Rose (6/1), Eponina (16/1), Keeping Hoping (20/1), Angels Landing (20/1), Shamfizz (40/1), Social Contact (40/1)

ROSE BARTON has a couple of bits of good 2-y-o form and could do better handicapping this term. She's taken to make a winning return at the main expense of the thriving Nikki's Girl and unexposed C&D winner Astral Beau.
