Forecasts

Democracy Dilemma (9/2), Seantrabh (5/1), Thankuappreciate (6/1), Clearpoint (7/1), Washington Heights (7/1), Secret Guest (17/2), Redemption Time (17/2), Star Of Lady M (12/1), Winter Crown (12/1), Sparkling Red (16/1), Jm Jungle (20/1), Northcliff (20/1), Can To Can (28/1), Miss Brazen (33/1)

A competitive renewal, with preference for WINTER CROWN who won cosily on his seasonal/stable debut at Newcastle in February and appeals as the type to do better now handicapping. He can get the better of Washington Heights who made the frame in all 5 of his starts as a 2-y-o, while Democracy Dilemma is another who merits consideration.
