Forecasts

Just Be Nice (11/4), Danse Milord (4/1), Oriental Bouquet (4/1), Morgan La Fay (10/1), Princess Ozma (10/1), Alittlebitnaughty (11/1), Quanabi (12/1), Conchita (12/1), Edvige (12/1), Shell Seeker (14/1), Mystic Angel (14/1), Ashanti Sword (22/1), Kingsmeads Krystl (22/1), Magical Java (28/1), Mysterious Girl (33/1)

ORIENTAL BOUQUET sets a very high standard and is promising. Mystic Angel seems the most likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Quanabi should go well too.
