Forecasts

Callmewhenuneedme (6/4), Tamil Tigress (11/4), Key Element (7/2), Silver Sanctuary (6/1), Lady Elliot (8/1), Dakota Cat (10/1), Elemental Force (14/1), Miss Shaivi (16/1)

TAMIL TIGRESS is in a good run of form and will probably take the beating. Elemental Force is probably the main threat, while Callmewhenuneedme is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the field.
