Forecasts

Opera Swing (3/1), Saint Anastasia (4/1), Colorama (5/1), Angelsea (7/1), Dame Of Flames (15/2), State Of Mind (8/1), My Ami Beach (17/2), Meeneera (9/1), Dream Star (11/1), Hilarity (14/1), Badrah (20/1), Ray Flambe (25/1), Salient Point (25/1), Teardrop (25/1), Magna Mater (28/1), Sacred Valley (40/1)

MEENEERA is proving consistent and just about sets the standard. Teardrop should be thereabouts too, while Dame Of Flames edges it as the selection for third.
