Forecasts

Sweet Future (13/8), Herstel (7/1), Glowtoria (7/1), Persica (8/1), Dubawi Princess (10/1), The Fifth Wave (10/1), Stellar Motion (10/1), Varina (12/1), Twelve Oaks (16/1), Milan's Princess (20/1), Impressive Duchess (22/1), Me Time (22/1), Decadent Lady (22/1), Mamaquera (22/1), Fantasy Flower (40/1)

GLOWTORIA has been running creditably of late and has a fair chance. Twelve Oaks is the pick of the rest, while The Fifth Wave also commands a closer look.
