Forecasts

Flying The Star (9/4), Vision Of Will (4/1), Hereinafter (9/2), Poppy Of Bayeux (11/2), War Empress (11/2), Fashion Mistress (6/1), Zululanga (18/1), Will O Me (20/1), Sayulita (20/1)

FLYING THE STAR has run good races the last twice and has fair claims. Poppy Of Bayeux is most likely the main threat, while Hereinafter is another with the potential to be on the premises.
