Forecasts

Rapid Fire (5/2), Nina Amelia (7/2), Allez Les Bleu (11/2), Clock Stopper (6/1), Raeesah (9/1), Big City Girl (11/1), Claremorris (14/1), Mercer Girl (16/1), The Villa Grand (18/1), Diamonds 'n Dust (18/1), Hot Gossip (20/1), Countessofcoulter (25/1), Miss Boomerang (40/1), Queen Of War (66/1)

RAPID FIRE formwise is some way in advance of these and tops the shortlist . Clock Stopper is a sound alternative, while Allez Les Bleu is another that should go well.
