Forecasts

Purple Persuasion (9/2), Meet At The George (9/2), Gayleactic Star (5/1), Cherry Road (5/1), Flower Of Saigon (11/2), Georgina Rose (15/2), Futuristic Dame (9/1), Blush Of Dawn (10/1), Lady Legend (16/1), Travelling Light (20/1), Gardenia (20/1)

FUTURISTIC DAME is probably the safest recommendation but has little margin for error. Georgina Rose is high up there among the rest, while Purple Persuasion merits respect also.
