Forecasts

Avoontoast (3/1), Paton's Tears (3/1), Opera Glass (4/1), Ballroom Bliss (5/1), Bold Fortune (6/1), Apache Fighter (17/2), Raratonga Rose (14/1), Last Cheer (16/1)

Verdict

BOLD FORTUNE is taken to end her losing run. Avoontoast might be the answer to second place, while Paton's Tears is prominent among those with minor place claims.
