Forecasts

Gypsy Woman (11/4), Not Even Close (7/2), Vadiana (4/1), Local Girl (13/2), Coumshingaun (7/1), Transcendental (17/2), Sheyya (16/1), Sioux Spirit (25/1), Kami (28/1), Nituna (40/1)

LOCAL GIRL has improved with each start and remains low mileage. She can make a successful switch to handicapping. Sioux Spirit and Kami rate the principal dangers.
