Forecasts

War Of Athena (5/6), Captain's Ransom (5/2), Lady Of Steel (9/1), Princess Calla (12/1), Caya Coco (22/1), Chat Ching (28/1), Sentbydestiny (33/1), Zarina (40/1), Mount Laurel (50/1), Hugs Accepted (50/1), Zimbaba (66/1), Freestate Star (80/1), Flashy Kaitrina (80/1), Only The Brave (125/1)

LADY OF STEEL is back to best now as her most recent effort showed and has strong claims. Mount Laurel can also play a major role, while Princess Calla is another with a place chance.
