Forecasts

Icy Night (10/3), Little Rain (7/2), Jp Two Thousand (4/1), Tiger In The Sun (5/1), Follow My Path (6/1), Quattro Passi (6/1), Invisible (7/1), Sacred Valley (11/1), Written In Stone (14/1), Back To Basics (18/1), Rose Willow (20/1), Purple Shadow (33/1), On The Warpath (50/1)

PURPLE SHADOW is difficult to oppose on what she has shown and shouldn't really be troubled. Icy Night is fancied to beat the rest, while Jp Two Thousand is another with place prospects too.
