Forecasts

My Girl Sioux (5/2), Beano Power (9/2), Eric Lock (5/1), Hastily (13/2), Turn Up The Beat (8/1), Sam's Xpress (8/1), Crystal Luna (10/1), No Speed Limit (10/1), Historical Fact (33/1), Hezahunk (50/1)

MY GIRL SIOUX signalled she is ready to go in again when runner-up over C&D last time and with the winner having franked the form she looks the way to go. Crystal Luna also has winning form over C&D and heads the list of dangers, with course-specialist No Speed Limit and the handily-weighted Sam's Xpress also in the mix.
