Forecasts

Secret History (2/9), Adalida (4/1), Welcome Retreat (13/2), Tabby Kat (9/1), Seven Fires (28/1), Militzie (28/1), Sequential (200/1), Anaba Girl (250/1)

SECRET HISTORY shaped with plenty of promise on both her starts in 2025 and, with the drop in trip unlikely to pose any issues, this looks a cracking opportunity to open her account. Welcome Retreat and Adalida can battle it out for minor honours.
