Forecasts

Alaskan (6/4), Harry With Style (5/2), Sweet Idea (11/2), Tenaciously (8/1), Urban Dandy (11/1), Ginny Jo (16/1), Bridge Water (25/1), Danchovska (25/1), Kay Ceraar (25/1), Naughty Ted (33/1), Mountain Run (66/1), Little Betty (100/1)

SWEET IDEA had shown improved form when runner-up at this C&D on her final start last year, so she can resume her progress to get off the mark returned to this track. Harry With Style should benefit from the return to 6f and is feared most, ahead of handicap debutante Bridge Water.
