Forecasts

Our Emily (7/2), Casa Rosada (7/2), Flying The Star (9/2), Vision Of Will (6/1), Candy For My Mommy (6/1), Magicallee (8/1), Aspoestertjie (9/1), Capriana (12/1), Shona Kirsty Yves (14/1), Red Rosa (25/1), Enid's Girl (25/1)

OUR EMILY has a little in hand but it's an open race. Vision Of Will is the most realistic next preference, while Capriana is another with a place chance.
