Forecasts

Waiting For Love (11/8), Needlepoint (13/8), Anamika (5/1), Space Trooper (11/2), Forest Haze (100/1), Boleyn Forever (250/1)

NEEDLEPOINT looked potentially useful when making a winning debut as a 2-y-o at Chantilly last summer and can defy a penalty despite her long absence. The progressive Space Trooper is next best.
