Forecasts

The Reason (5/6), Lanteri (9/4), Brigitte Anne (9/2), Falconfly (9/1), Come Together (12/1), Amaze Me (16/1), Be My Fate (28/1), Lady Lancaster (50/1), Cranberry Point (66/1), Eruption Inthe Sky (66/1), Erik's Girl (100/1)

DELAWARE RIVER has a very good chance on form and he's fancied to follow-up his breakthrough maiden victory 9 days ago. The Reason ought to be involved as well, while Lanteri looks best of the others.
