Forecasts

Strange Magic (5/4), Karin's Legacy (11/4), Brazilian Storm (11/4), Ballycotton (12/1), Countess Danza (14/1), Maith An Cailin (18/1), Allthewayfromusa (22/1), French Kitten (33/1), Crusade's Pleasure (40/1), Apache Love (50/1)

STRANGE MAGIC started favourite last time out, but should make the most of this opening. Karin's Legacy is the obvious danger, while Allthewayfromusa also commands a second look.
