Forecasts

Desert Miracle (2/7), Rain In Holland (9/1), Sprinkles (9/1), Clafoutis (14/1), Eternity Ring (25/1), Bold Act (33/1), Follow Me (33/1), Hollywoodbound (33/1), Supreme Quest (50/1), Perfect Witness (50/1), Maryah (50/1)

DESERT MIRACLE is highest rated of these on the form book and is well up to winning this. Bold Act chief among the rest shouldn't be underestimated, while Hollywoodbound could also figure.
