Forecasts

Harley's Fate (2/1), Aspoestertjie (11/2), Royal Oasis (11/2), Shipholia (11/2), Morgan La Fay (6/1), Conchita (15/2), Flying The Star (8/1), Poppy Of Bayeux (10/1), Hereinafter (14/1), Candy For My Mommy (14/1), Princess Santo (14/1), Sting Ray (14/1), Run Again (16/1), Meredith Grey (25/1), Troubadix (40/1)

CONCHITA just about appeals most in this field but will need to be on song. Harley's Fate is chief among the dangers, while Morgan La Fay also demands respect.
