Forecasts

Ma Belle Noire (11/10), Blue Sans (9/4), Stamina Chope (3/1), Jolie Baie (11/2), Sheila Nash (13/2), Artemis Angel (7/1), Pennsylvanie (17/2), Maroochi (10/1)

BLUE SANS needs more to get the 4-timer up but could well be up to the task. Ma Belle Noire is also thriving and has to be feared. Stamina Chope ran well back over hurdles here recently and is also in the mix.
