Forecasts

Lady Calavera (9/2), Beguiling (5/1), Princess Ilaria (7/1), Batik (7/1), Mamaquera (15/2), Nice Move (8/1), English Primrose (17/2), Midnight Crystal (9/1), Quantum (9/1), Writteninthesand (10/1), Mighty Goddess (12/1), Queen Of Gaul (16/1), Linganomore (20/1), Pink Diamond (20/1), Mauby (22/1), Hotchiwitchi (25/1), Lidl Miss Sunshine (25/1), Treaty (33/1), Eastern World (33/1), Raining Rubies (50/1)

Verdict

BATIK continues to operate somewhere near current peak and will probably take the beating. Mamaquera looks the most dangerous opponent, while English Primrose also commands respect.

  2. Mamaquera15/2
  3. English Primrose17/2
