Forecasts

Wahaaj (30/100), Timewave (13/2), Caernarfon (11/1), Zebra Star (12/1), Speedwell (20/1)

WAHAAJ made a fine start when winning at Nottingham in a decent time and could be hard to beat under a penalty. Caernarfon might be the danger given she has the benefit of experience, although support for either of the newcomers Speedwell and Timewave would be interesting.
