Forecasts

There She Goes (7/2), Petit Verdot (4/1), Harley's Fate (11/2), Aisling (13/2), Nikiya (7/1), Swiss Bank (17/2), Retail Therapy (10/1), Belle Rouge (12/1), Time Chaser (14/1), Alittlebitnaughty (18/1), Bella Bandiera (18/1), Desert Pride (20/1), Dunyaa (25/1)

AISLING looks to have marginally the best claims but it's an open race. Retail Therapy should be right in the mix, along with Nikiya.
