Forecasts

In Cahoots (2/1), Admiralty Arch (3/1), Burmese Tiara (10/3), Gilda Gray (5/1), Gimme The Flame (10/1), Global Breeze (12/1), Earl Of Cardigan (18/1), Lady Calavera (20/1), Rose Willow (22/1), Fasinada (25/1), Tara Iti (28/1)

BURMESE TIARA is going well and gets the vote. Gilda Gray is probably the chief danger, while Rose Willow also looks good for a place.
