Forecasts

Chinese Whisperer (11/8), Mysterious Maestro (11/4), Opticality (7/2), Thoughtful Gift (15/2), El Royale (15/2), Six Strings (11/1), Daany (12/1), He's Our Star (12/1), Polar Rock (14/1), Macon Belle (25/1), Big Muddy (33/1), Lady Bianca (80/1)

MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO came home a very good third to Chinese Whisperer here last week and can turn the table on 5 lb better terms this time. Harriet Bethell's 6-y-o still rates the chief threat, although course-winner He's Our Star and in-form maiden El Royale also need factoring into this open handicap.
