Forecasts

I Giorni (11/5), Lime Avenue (11/4), Walk Of No Shame (13/2), Innisfree Lass (9/1), Passionate Pursuit (10/1), Police Academy (10/1), Milagrosa (12/1), Blue Anchor (12/1), Thyme 'n' Tyde (25/1), Ibiza Rocks (25/1), Blue Clover (33/1), Cast's Tasha (33/1), Palmagreen (33/1), With Poise (80/1), Prelinsia (125/1), Sabaarelli (250/1)

LIME AVENUE fetched six figures as a store and starts out for top connections, so this well-bred mare takes preference over comfortable point winner Police Academy. Walk of No Shame is the pick of those with bumper experience and Passionate Pursuit is another interesting recruit (second between the flags).
