Forecasts

Ateenosix (4/5), Adam's Boy (4/1), Hezahunk (11/2), Ace In The Pack (17/2), My Girl Sioux (12/1), Short Change (14/1), Chief Of State (20/1), Heir Island (100/1), Veracidad (125/1), Rhythm And Moves (150/1)

A repeat of the level ATEENOSIX has shown on all 4 starts here this year will likely be enough to see her get off the mark. Hezahunk is another with some decent course form and is second choice ahead of Ace In The Pack.
