Forecasts

Sharapova (6/4), River Queraress (3/1), Tamil Tigress (3/1), Trentino (4/1), Magical Flight (9/2), Little Miz Swagger (7/1), Just Be Nice (17/2), Nyali Beach (12/1), Juliet Tango (16/1), Que Ceu Azul (28/1), Woman Of Substance (40/1)

SHARAPOVA was slightly disappointing when favourite last time out, but is worth siding with again. Tamil Tigress could have the most to offer of the remainder, while Trentino edges it for third.
