Forecasts

Mrs Geriatrix (4/6), White Pearl (7/1), Distant Winter (9/1), Rascova (12/1), Egyptian Mau (12/1), Elegant Ice (14/1), Tamil Tigress (22/1), No Filter (25/1), Soldier's Eye (33/1), Kingdom Of Gold (33/1), Calling All Angels (33/1), Bosnay (40/1), Epic View (40/1), Querandi (50/1)

MRS GERIATRIX is a class act and sets a good standard for the others to aim at. Elegant Ice seems the leading danger, while Distant Winter is another to consider.
