Forecasts

Beauparc (7/2), Redemptive Power (4/1), Limestone Red (9/2), Warrior Lion (8/1), Special Angel (8/1), Church Mountain (17/2), Elsa's Pride (9/1), Aljadel (10/1), Gushing (10/1), Tartaraghan (10/1), Picpoul (12/1), Sportingsilvermine (25/1), Blackcastle Storm (25/1), Miami Sunshine (33/1), Doctor Grace (33/1), Step To Somewhere (33/1), Beauty Bella (100/1)

Preference is for ELSA'S PRIDE, who made a successful debut on this surface here last month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. Church Mountain and Beauparc should also go well.
