Forecasts

Jorge Alvares (2/1), Beauty Queen (9/2), Red Evolution (5/1), Bobbi Rosa (7/1), Sarahmae (9/1), Likedbymike (9/1), Lethimfly (10/1), Dark Ace (12/1), Tropical Retreat (14/1)

SARAHMAE finished fourth in a really warm handicap at Naas 10 days ago and on that evidence, this revised mark is within range. Tropical Retreat is a potential improver on this just her third start, with Beauty Queen also of interest back down in class.
