Forecasts

Sluice (10/3), Pepper Noir (7/2), Madame Plaintiff (4/1), Neo Smart (8/1), Asian Daze (9/1), Salah Belle (9/1), Glimmerglass (9/1), Ribchestina (20/1), Glamorously (25/1), Straya (33/1)

MADAME PLAINTIFF ran out a ready winner on her handicap debut at Gowran a fortnight ago and even a 9 lb rise could prove lenient. She can follow up. Sluice and Asian Daze are two of the dangers.
