Forecasts

Persica (9/4), Greens (11/4), Capitiana (9/2), Dubawi Princess (5/1), Anne Boleyn (6/1), Kayla's Champ (6/1), Little Rain (15/2), Sheer Talent (12/1), Lady Of Liberty (50/1)

A tightly-knit handicap and Dubawi Princess makes most appeal on the pick of her form. Little Rain is another to come into the reckoning, along with Greens.
