Forecasts

She's A Fine Wine (11/4), Ho My Lord (11/4), Clarens (6/1), Encanto Bruno (13/2), Nt Field Minnesota (17/2), Mr Saxobeat (10/1), Lightkeeper (10/1), Fascile Mode (12/1), That's About Right (16/1), Must Be Obeyed (18/1), Visionarian (22/1)

SHE'S A FINE WINE came good in only her second handicap chase at Kilbeggan last month and is taken to defy the handicapper. That's About Right is another last-time-out scorer who has made a bright start to his chase career and is second choice ahead of Nt Field Minnesota, who chased home the selection at Kilbeggan.
