Forecasts

Brazilian Rose (6/4), Ahamoment (5/1), Quandary (11/2), Tasever (7/1), Streak Lightning (15/2), Parthenopaeus (10/1), Bobby Joe Leg (11/1), Alreet Cha (14/1), Super Hit (25/1), Petra Celera (100/1), Dream Show (100/1)

BRAZILIAN ROSE completed the hat-trick with something up her sleeve at this course at the weekend and she's an obvious choice to go in again if the quick turnaround doesn't scupper her. Streak Lightning and Ahamoment are two of several others who arrive in good order.
