Forecasts

Havana Notion (10/3), Magnanimous Mehmus (10/3), Bright Dick (5/1), Fleetfootsoldier (11/2), Memorial Verse (7/1), Little Keilee (8/1), Distillate (17/2), Rio Largo (11/1), Riesling (14/1), Trident Star (33/1), Amemri (40/1), Apprentice (40/1)

LITTLE KEILEE finished behind several of these in the C&D handicap won by Distillate 3 weeks ago but it would be something of an understatement to say that she didn't enjoy much luck. Granted a trouble-free passage this time, she could be the answer. Distillate is likely to be in the thick of things once more but she may also struggle to confirm the placings with another two of those that finished behind her earlier this month, namely Havana Notion and Bright Dick.
