Forecasts

Maria Corolina (5/2), Family Favourite (7/2), Feeling Groovy (7/2), Gin And Tonic (9/2), Luna Eclipse (5/1), Quanabi (6/1), Crazy Blues (8/1), Eau De Vie (10/1), Kingsmeads Krystl (14/1), Gardenia (22/1)

QUANABI was unable to cheer backers last time, but edges it as the selection once again. Maria Corolina is most likely the leading challenger, while Eau De Vie commands a second look as well.
