Forecasts

Never Feel Blue (11/10), Rocked Up (6/1), Carrigeen Abele (6/1), Lady Merlot (8/1), Butterflyvespiere (9/1), Mourne Stowaway (10/1), Aspen Fior (12/1), Belle Lurette (14/1), Young Leya (22/1), Rosa Gloriosa (33/1), Present Road (33/1), Lady Whistledown (40/1), Ms Gemma (40/1), Darcys Hill (50/1), Crackin' Rose (50/1), Icee M B A (100/1), Jaksporter (125/1)
