Forecasts

Cattaleya (6/4), Act Naturally (3/1), Veronique (4/1), Enchanted Creek (8/1), Perilla (17/2), Parisienne Girl (10/1), Call Me The Breeze (18/1), Everglades (25/1), Natasia (40/1), Black Path (50/1)

CATTALEYA looks to have narrowly the best claims but can't afford for much to go wrong. Parisienne Girl could emerge as the main threat, while Veronique also requires respect.
