Forecasts

Sea La Venus (10/11), Godsend (9/2), Barafundle Bay (5/1), Solar Bentley (8/1), Honrado (10/1), Kinetic (12/1), Normandy Vista (18/1), Angelica Catalani (22/1), Rubio De Oro (50/1)

SEA LA VENUS has showed a bit to date and is bred to be much better than a mark of 62, so she's worth a chance to make a successful handicap debut at the possible expense of Barafundle Bay, who opened her account in ready fashion at Windsor recently. Godsend likely has a bigger effort in him, so he's feared, too.
