Forecasts

Hello Sweetie (11/4), Rocky Court (4/1), Afatcat (4/1), Lucky Pat (8/1), Usa (8/1), Bashful Beauty (9/1), Cillian's Return (12/1), Killer Crow (16/1), Bendanella (20/1), Pumbaa (25/1)

This race appears to revolve around HELLO SWEETIE. If the mare is in the same kind of form as her win over C&D nearly four weeks ago she should take some stopping despite her new mark. Rocky Court deserves respect on his recent win at this track and should make a good race of it, while Bashful Beauty invariably runs well here and cannot be ruled out of calculations. Afatcat and Usa are also likely to play their respective parts.
