Forecasts

Haven Lady (6/4), Uccello (5/1), O'Reilly's Pass (11/2), Jamih (7/1), Robert Johnson (8/1), First Blood (11/1), Inside Intel (14/1), Firewater (25/1), Highland Sky (33/1), I'm Grateful (40/1)

HAVEN LADY opened her account over C&D 19 days ago and she can make it back-to-back wins. The 4-y-o scored readily so a 6 lb rise in the weights might not be enough to prevent her following up. First Blood also ran well here on his latest start and the drop back in trip can suit, so he could be the main danger ahead of O'Reilly's Pass who was second to the selection when the pair met earlier this month.
