Forecasts

Willow Lane (5/2), Twice As Wild (4/1), Theroseofbecharre (4/1), Elusive Woman (4/1), Mode (9/2), Petunia (12/1), Lady Of The Flame (18/1), Ray Indigo (22/1), Wings Of Nike (28/1), Zulu War Cry (33/1), Flash Rock (33/1)

RAY INDIGO has put together a solid series of recent efforts and seems likely to take the beating. Lady Of The Flame is a marginal preference for second, while Mode also demands a closer look.
