Forecasts

Seeking The Stars (3/1), Money Heist (7/2), Royal Victory (6/1), Sun Blushed (7/1), Formagear (15/2), Winter Games (8/1), Mr Master Starter (17/2), Queue Wing (10/1), Passage Of Power (12/1), Waterberry Lane (14/1), Valerias Dream (20/1), Platinum Sky (28/1), Capetown Beauty (33/1), With Pleasure (66/1), Rex Union (66/1)

SUN BLUSHED has a definite advantage on form and has obvious claims. Formagear makes most appeal among the rest, while Passage Of Power is another with place prospects.
