Forecasts

Sayce Gold (11/10), Humm Baby (7/4), Sapphire Lady (15/8), Make My Heart Fly (7/2), Kitty Galore (12/1), Irregularheartbeat (12/1), Majestic Maid (14/1), Presenting Bonnie (18/1)

A few with chances, but HUMM BABY holds the clear edge on form so looks the way to go. Make My Heart Fly needs considering back in this sphere, while both Sapphire Lady and Majestic Maid merit consideration too in an open contest.
