Forecasts

Royal Kitty (11/8), Capriccio (9/2), Nkalanzinzi (6/1), Venturous (13/2), Angel's Wish (7/1), Badrah (8/1), Forged In Ice (11/1), Street Dancing (14/1), Troubadix (14/1), Global Secret (18/1), Meredith Grey (22/1)

ROYAL KITTY actually ran well when favourite last time out, and is worth siding with again. Meredith Grey gets the nod among the remainder, while Nkalanzinzi is another that could go well.
