Forecasts

Tallinn (2/1), Mounia (11/4), Verolina (11/2), Spiritofthegroove (13/2), Icy Night (13/2), Rio's Kiss (8/1), Run April Run (10/1), Pick A Lily (14/1), Emerald Princess (16/1), Love Posy (28/1), Diamonds 'n Dust (33/1)

TALLINN is running creditably and seems likely to take the beating. Spiritofthegroove rates the main opposition, while Love Posy also needs a second look.
