Forecasts

Rani Of Jhansi (15/8), Global Secret (9/2), Nellie Melba (11/2), Littleblackvelvet (11/2), Epic View (8/1), Contra Fiscum (10/1), Copacabana (10/1), Fort J'adore (14/1), Elegant Act (20/1), Sting Ray (33/1), Electra Green (40/1), Dame Mazona (50/1)

GLOBAL SECRET was a shade disappointing when favourite last time out, but edges it as the selection once again. Contra Fiscum has the best credentials of the remainder, while Epic View is another to consider.
