Forecasts

Gimme The Flame (6/4), Queen Theodora (7/2), Memorial Day (6/1), Silk Garden (13/2), Beltway (7/1), Wilkies (14/1), Heartlight (14/1), Lady Chocolat (16/1), Oceans Pride (20/1), Future Thinker (28/1), Raising A Storm (33/1), Kit Kat Katie (80/1)

GIMME THE FLAME looks the best of this bunch in an open race. Silk Garden could be the danger, while Memorial Day is not out of it where the places are concerned.
