Forecasts

Loose Tongue (2/1), Evelyn's Phoenix (3/1), Mambha (9/2), Papagrey (17/2), Emu War (10/1), Aspire To Glory (12/1), Likleman (12/1), Crown's Lady (22/1), Whatwouldiknow (25/1), Seahorse Syd (28/1)

MAMBHA is on the up and shapes like this trip could bring more out of her, so she might be able to get the better of old rival Evelyn's Phoenix. Loose Tongue is another one who arrives on the up and should feature.
