Forecasts

Camelot Alexander (10/3), Whimsy (4/1), Narlita (11/2), God Knows (7/1), You Owe Me Money (15/2), Belhaven (17/2), Red Trail (11/1), Pachmena (16/1), Red Heel (20/1), No Niki No (25/1), Dumb Love (66/1)

CAMELOT ALEXANDER stepped up markedly and had plenty to spare when landing an 8-runner handicap at Gowran on reappearance, so she's fancied to go in again with the potential for better still. Belhaven ended last season on a positive note and makes plenty of appeal on debut for a new stable, while God Knows can't be dismissed.
