Forecasts

Laetitia's Angel (9/4), Cocoa Hill (4/1), Petunia (13/2), Moonstrike (7/1), Dancing Dora (7/1), Grecia (8/1), Meteoric (11/1), Young Jackie (14/1), Meet The Captain (14/1), Scottadito (18/1), Spanish Song (25/1)

PETUNIA can blossom after a good run at Vaal. Cocoa Hill could provide the main danger, while Grecia can scrap it out for third.
