Forecasts

Vuvuzela Umlilo (5/2), Opening Ceremony (3/1), Chasing Cheetahs (5/1), Natasha Rostov (5/1), White Witch (13/2), Maya's Cat (7/1), Clap Of Thunder (11/1), So Dacha (14/1), Cosmic Empire (14/1), Prince Of Heaven (16/1), Painite (20/1), Texas Tornado (20/1), Twice A Saint (25/1), Thalia's Galaxy (50/1)

OPENING CEREMONY took a large step back in the right direction again on his latest start and sets a solid standard. Natasha Rostov can also play a leading role, while So Dacha can't be ruled out of it either.
