Forecasts

Lily Blue (1/1), Fort Anne (3/1), Saragon (6/1), Stately Home (6/1), Destinys Game (10/1), Shivers (16/1), Sunshine Silk (22/1), Queen Bomi (66/1)

LILY BLUE just about edges it as the selection and she can add to her excellent strike rate. Fort Anne is high up there among the others, while Destinys Game is in the running for a share of the minor money.
