Forecasts

Dubawi Princess (3/1), Purple Nkanyezi (3/1), Petra (4/1), Boldly Go (5/1), Winter Furi (13/2), Purple Merchant (10/1), Lady Legend (12/1), Blush Of Dawn (14/1), Gardenia (20/1), Travelling Light (25/1)

BLUSH OF DAWN has marginally the best all-round profile and is respected. Winter Furi makes most appeal among the others, while Purple Nkanyezi is another that should go well.
