Forecasts

Senado Square (5/4), Samrogue (3/1), Below Deck (11/2), Loma Larnee (11/2), Havana Notion (13/2), Lockdown (16/1), Bonny Power (20/1), Phil's Dream (20/1), Reinforce (40/1), Adams Barbour (40/1), Un Bacio Ancora (50/1), Just Another (66/1), Maggie Thunder (80/1), Tynan (125/1), Imperial Khan (125/1), If But Maybe (150/1), Qalahari Queen (250/1)

SENADO SQUARE, Havana Notion and Samrogue finished 1-2-3 when meeting over C&D at the beginning of the month and a repeat is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility with the selection having won again over 6f here last Friday. Loma Larnee put up an improved effort when third here last week and she's worth a second look fitted with cheekpieces for her handicap debut, too.
