Forecasts

Washington Street (6/4), Stella Alpina (9/4), Colter Bay (5/1), Glory To Be (6/1), Pete's Dream (17/2), Suerte (16/1), Woolridge (18/1), Amicitia (22/1), Three Sixteen (80/1), Not Simple (100/1), Pick A Window (100/1), Micheil Cee (100/1), Clashawley Mist (100/1), Lady Luck (150/1), Jack Major (200/1), Posh Spirit (250/1), Doctor G (250/1)

STELLA ALPINA has shown promise in maidens, twice finishing a close second before running below form when not knocked about last time. She's top-rated and can gain a breakthrough win. Colter Bay is better judged on his promising debut and remains open to improvement after stumbling badly at the start last time, while Washington Street has been runner-up in his last three races and should give his running again.
