Forecasts

Cold Case (8/11), Carmela (11/8), Queen Of Deauville (5/2), Mint Edition (16/1), Kodi Dancer (33/1)

CARMELA matched the form of her debut win when fifth in a listed race at York 2 weeks ago and she may well be up to defying a penalty back in a lesser grade. Queen of Deauville won comfortably on debut and she's a big danger under her penalty, while Cold Case is a very interesting newcomer.
