Forecasts

Curvature (1/1), Miss Caruso (9/2), Alazne (5/1), Rebecca's Girl (8/1), Florida Taiga (11/1), Twentynine Palms (12/1), Paulos Princess (14/1), Tasmanian Girl (50/1), Perfect Bliss (80/1), Irresistible You (125/1), Talia (150/1), Flotus Radiance (200/1), Rosie Booshay (250/1)

CURVATURE made a promising start here in December and can open her account with improvement on the way. There is more to come from Alazne and she's respected, while Miss Caruso is likely to take another step forward.
