Forecasts

What A Honey (4/6), Right Choice (7/2), Midnight Gem (5/1), Stolen Kiss (11/1), Meet The Captain (16/1), Miracle And Wonder (20/1), Verinova (25/1), Big City Girl (25/1), Eastern Belle (33/1), Splash Of Green (50/1), Broadway Babe (66/1), Meteoric (80/1)

Verdict

WHAT A HONEY should be thereabouts but can't afford for much to go wrong. Miracle And Wonder is another who should take a hand, while Right Choice is another likely to be on the premises.

  1. WHAT A HONEY (SAF)
  2. MIRACLE AND WONDER (SAF)
  3. RIGHT CHOICE (SAF)
