Forecasts

Pelargonium (5/2), Purple Merchant (10/3), Star Choice (4/1), Aunty Lizzy (5/1), Ancient Epic (11/2), Looking Hot (15/2), Princess Donelly (18/1), Miss Charlotte (28/1)

STAR CHOICE has been operating at a solid level lately and should give backers a run for their money. Looking Hot could provide the chief danger, while Purple Merchant can't be ruled out.
