Forecasts

Miss Greenlight (2/1), Bonika (10/3), Fun Zone (7/2), Golden Hostess (5/1), Stiptelik (11/2), La Folie Douce (15/2), Nippy Winter (11/1), Certainly (18/1), Little Miss Pink (20/1)

FUN ZONE is best of these on form and looks to have a straightforward task. Little Miss Pink can also play a leading role, while Bonika is not out of it for third place.
