Forecasts

Time Fo Orchids (7/2), Canadian Summer (9/2), Ameena (5/1), Bless My Stars (11/2), Hold My Hand (6/1), None Other (17/2), Miss Cool (12/1), Woodland Retreat (12/1), Littlemarysunshine (18/1), Orarari Gold (22/1), Miss Daisy (22/1), Rock The Fox (25/1), Butterfly Beauty (28/1), Kill Shot (40/1), Princess Ozma (40/1)

NONE OTHER has largely been running well and is much the one to aim at. Miss Daisy is most likely the sternest threat, while Orarari Gold might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
