Forecasts

Badosa (5/2), Lady In Havana (3/1), Meet Me In Meraki (3/1), Rust E Boy (7/1), Rusheen Boy (9/1), Alibi Warning (14/1), Mehigburn (16/1), Red Iris (16/1), Smooth Silesie (20/1), Perfect Spring (22/1), Run Joy Run (28/1), Dash Power (125/1)

ALIBI WARNING was behind 3 of her opposition here over C&D last time but would have gone closer granted a clearer run and she's fancied to capitalise on an unchanged mark. Lady In Havana and Badosa were the 1-2 in that contest and are obvious players again.
