Forecasts

Kayhana (10/3), Ojw Legacy (6/1), Raknah (8/1), Dagoda (9/1), Dance Night Andday (9/1), Indigo Five (11/1), Plume Noire (12/1), Gunzburg (12/1), Fast Tara (14/1), Coumshingaun (16/1), Karlsberg (18/1), Mammas Girl (18/1), Talia (18/1), Profit Refused (25/1), Matter Of Fact (33/1), Vasda (80/1)

KAYHANA gets the nod to build on an encouraging comeback run over 1m here, with the drop to 7f probably a help if anything. Fast Tara has run 2 solid races this term and heads the dangers along with Coumshingaun and Talia.
