Forecasts

Public Benefit (10/3), Trip To Barberton (4/1), Hey Siri (5/1), Crafty Heart (15/2), Keep The Fort (8/1), Global Avenue (9/1), Maiden's Cove (10/1), Sugarberry (11/1), State Of Mind (12/1), Kavian's Cara (16/1), Basetsana (18/1), On The Guest List (20/1), Respectable Miss (25/1), Izhiestia (28/1), Soft Touch (40/1)

TRIP TO BARBERTON's recent starts have been likeable in general and she has leading claims. Sugarberry is another who should take a hand, while Basetsana can win the battle for minor honours.
