Forecasts

Fly My Flag (13/8), Stolen Kiss (15/8), Franca (4/1), Red Berry (5/1), Gillian Anne (8/1), Miss Nibbles (10/1), Sound Check (25/1), Savannah Winter (25/1), Rapid Fire (28/1)

GILLIAN ANNE's recent efforts have had a lot to like about them and she has leading claims. Franca is probably the chief threat, while Fly My Flag looks another that has to be reckoned with.
