Forecasts

Qualimita (8/11), Full Of Life (10/3), Barnahash Primrose (4/1), Glens Lullaby (11/1), Miss Mini Bee (12/1), Reina Del Mar (16/1), Colonia Victoria (33/1), Former Flame (66/1), Nytol (66/1), Kilfera (66/1), Music Of Life (100/1), Rush Slowly (125/1), Blue Pearl Bay (150/1), Presenting Georgie (150/1), Mags Collins (150/1), Bitta Romance (200/1)

QUALIMITA progressed again making her handicap debut when third here 4 weeks ago and sets a decent standard back in a maiden. Barnahash Primrose failed to meet expectations on her hurdling bow at Limerick but seems sure to do better, while useful German Flat recruit Colonia Victoria is an interesting newcomer.
