Forecasts

Gilded Butterfly (6/4), Pink Tourmaline (11/4), Bold Fortune (13/2), Terra Time (10/1), Admire Me (10/1), Crimson Princess (14/1), Greek Miss (16/1), Ululate (18/1), Southern Song (22/1), Sister Light (25/1), Clafoutis (25/1), Opera Glass (28/1)

ADMIRE ME has largely been running well and just about gets the nod in this field. Ululate could be the biggest danger, while Gilded Butterfly is also in the running for some place money at least.
