Forecasts

Moheeba (7/4), Mezzotinto (3/1), Sikorsky (5/1), Home From Home (15/2), Daahes (8/1), Shmsan (12/1), Classic City (14/1), Clear Image (28/1), Top Tune (33/1), Sadik (40/1), Now Now Ladies (50/1), Alsahib (66/1), Beijing Billy (66/1)

MOHEEBA can easily have her last run overlooked and can break her duck at the third attempt after a break. Sikorsky gets the nod among the remainder, while Mezzotinto can generally be relied on.
