Forecasts

Capitana (7/2), Phil's Dancer (9/2), Vernichey (9/2), Santa Maria (8/1), Keep The Lights On (9/1), Gimme Dat (9/1), Sweet Future (11/1), Maryah (14/1), Kitty Cat Chat (16/1), Favorita (20/1), Iris (20/1), Roll In The Hay (25/1)

VERNICHEY has easily the best chance on form and shouldn't really be troubled. Phil's Dancer has to come into the equation for a place, while Gimme Dat has a place chance as well.
