Forecasts

Magenta (7/4), Afrodite (7/2), Mercurial Jet (4/1), Yaya Maria (5/1), Red Centre (6/1), Texas Tornado (11/1), Lily Of Orange (12/1), Antonia Augusta (14/1), Sundrop (18/1), Karoo Magic (20/1), Elusive Jewel (28/1), Spring Fever (50/1)

MAGENTA's recent starts have had a lot to like about them and she should give backers a decent run for their money. Antonia Augusta could be the toughest opponent, while Lily Of Orange comes into calculations for third place.
