Forecasts

Call Me Master (7/2), Letsdoit (7/2), Secret Giver (9/2), Astrocyte (6/1), Quattro Passi (15/2), Anatura (17/2), Catchthegreenlight (10/1), Elusive Swann (14/1), Dark Travel (14/1), Follow My Path (14/1), Gilda Gray (16/1), In The Game (20/1), Rose Willow (25/1), Bit Of Fun (25/1), Timeforthat (50/1)

ANATURA's recent efforts have been likeable on the whole and she is up to winning this. Elusive Swann can emerge best of the remainder, while Call Me Master shouldn't be far away.
