Forecasts

Kinetic (11/4), Dibble Dabble (11/4), Forest Spirit (9/2), Queen's Company (13/2), Spirit Of The Bay (7/1), Maundy Thursday (10/1), Cherry Cola (14/1), What's She At (50/1)

Backing SPIRIT OF THE BAY comes with risks attached given her record fresh but the handicapper has given her a major chance if she is fit for this return. Kinetic and Forest Spirit have both been in excellent form of late and seem sure to go well again.
