Forecasts

Laura Bay (10/3), Ciara Pearl (7/2), Salamanca City (4/1), Hot Fashion (9/2), Islanova (17/2), Measured Moments (12/1), Moonlit Cloud (12/1), Ehtiram (16/1), Azahara Palace (16/1), Yamamah (25/1)

David Menuisier has his team in form so LAURA BAY is taken to step up again and make it 3-4 in handicaps. Ciara Pearl has had an excellent season and may give her most to do ahead of Hot Fashion and Salamanca City, a last-time-out C&D winner.
