Forecasts

Star Start (5/2), Sanction (9/2), Zaakara (9/2), Mascani (11/2), Have You A Minute (8/1), Nannie Dee (11/1), Anieres Girl (16/1), Greek Siren (18/1), Timewaitsfornobody (28/1), Lakota Lass (28/1), Opportunity Knocks (40/1)

MASCANI looked well suited by the step up in trip when making a successful handicap debut at Beverleyu a month ago, and with further progress on the cards, he's marginally preferred to the in-form Star Start. Zaakara also merits consideration.
