Forecasts

Magical Flight (11/4), Hugsandhighfives (4/1), Crazy Blues (9/2), Escapologist (5/1), Petit Verdot (11/2), Malcolm's Dream (8/1), Hatta (14/1), Shaken Not Stirred (14/1), Natalia (20/1), Mysterious Girl (25/1)

MAGICAL FLIGHT has been hard to fault in recent races and seems the one they have to beat. Crazy Blues is hard to ignore in the search for second, while Escapologist also commands a closer look.
