Forecasts

Inner Sense (13/8), Pass The Baton (11/4), Mount Etna (7/2), Zoom Lady (11/2), Crystal Maiden (8/1), United We Stand (16/1), Duellona (33/1), Double Joy (33/1), Kit Kat Katie (50/1)

PASS THE BATON looks the one to be with, but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Mount Etna is another who could play a major part in proceedings, while Zoom Lady also demands scrutiny.
