Forecasts

Two Plus Two (2/1), Wannabeawallaby (9/4), Smokey Malone (4/1), Cherry Cola (11/2), Trackman (7/1), Hidden Pearl (14/1), Dereham (14/1), Raqisa (16/1), Principessa (18/1), Desejada (80/1)

This is the easiest band of handicap CHERRY COLA has contested for some time and sure to strip fitter with her reappearance behind her, she's a tempting alternative at the forecast prices to hat-trick seeker Two Plus Two. Wannabeawallaby should be on the premises.
