Forecasts

Master Archie (9/4), Big Burn (5/2), Bartholdi (3/1), Bella Chica (15/2), Danilo Danilovitch (11/1), Hithemhardsunshine (12/1), Faustino (12/1), Winter Stories (22/1)

Verdict

BELLA CHICA got back on track in her most recent race and should make a bold show. Faustino can also play a significant part, while Big Burn might be worth siding with for third.

  1. Bella Chica15/2
  2. Faustino12/1
  3. Big Burn5/2
