Forecasts

Orarari Gold (7/4), Tipsy Tarragon (9/4), Gimmealight (4/1), Tulip Tree (4/1), Que Ceu Azul (6/1), High Roller (12/1)

QUE CEU AZUL fell short of market expectations last time, but is taken to make the most of this opening. Orarari Gold seemingly poses the biggest danger, while Tulip Tree looks third best.
