Forecasts

Moonlight In Paris (7/2), Wondrous Words (7/2), Colony Queen (11/2), End Result (15/2), Licit (15/2), Ilalliqa (17/2), Affable (14/1), Topanticipation (14/1), True Scarlet (16/1), Maurimo (16/1), Escape The City (28/1), Arctic Victory (28/1)

Verdict

Quite a few of these are open to progress so it's a good race of its type. END RESULT is certainly going the right way, and with a good test of stamina at this trip envisaged, she could well be the one, Wondrous Words could easily end up useful if kept in training and is a big danger, along with Affable.
