Forecasts

Blazing Astute (3/1), Mel's Princess (10/3), Evening Primrose (4/1), Chelsea Flower (9/2), My Cherie Amour (5/1), Aerial View (11/2), Raspberry Beret (11/1), Rise (16/1), Reckless Love (16/1), Electric Surge (18/1)

BLAZING ASTUTE was back to her best in her latest race and is arguably the one to aim at. Electric Surge would be our next pick, while Aerial View might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
