Forecasts

Rainyday Woman (6/4), Masada Knight (9/2), Harde Fashion (5/1), Fontana Ellissi (13/2), Greatest Star (8/1), Barrakhov (9/1), Atjima (12/1), Spidersteve (28/1), Shannon Rocco (50/1), Distant Universe (66/1), Williamdeconqueror (100/1)

RAINYDAY WOMAN showed plenty while shaping like a stayer in a couple of bumpers for Pam Sly and could progress a fair bit for her new yard. She could be hard to beat granted a test on her return. Masada Knight and Harde Fashion are a couple of interesting newcomers.
