Forecasts

Bellick (7/2), Delta Romeo (7/2), Hurricane Helen (9/2), Malaysian (5/1), Lion Ring (13/2), Havana Pearl (13/2), Inflection Point (7/1), Hell Left Loose (10/1), Laurens Company (12/1), Farnese (14/1), Phoenix Open (20/1), Beleaguerment (25/1), Miss Cunning (28/1), Anjalawi (28/1), Amazing One (33/1), Ginsburg (33/1), Endless Season (40/1)

DELTA ROMEO has been in good order lately, not beaten far in third over C&D last time, and he might be able to pick up his first win if the race is run to suit. Recent winner Malaysian still looks well in on old form and Bellick should be thereabouts again.
