Forecasts

Twinklelittlestar (5/2), Aspoestertjie (4/1), Maggie Smith (4/1), Harley's Fate (5/1), Bitcoin Baby (5/1), Can't Catch Me (7/1), Chelsea Flower (15/2), Princess Arlowe (8/1), Rafeef's Choice (10/1), Swiss Paradise (12/1), Mel's Princess (22/1)

CHELSEA FLOWER is operating at a solid level lately and will probably take the beating. Twinklelittlestar looks the most dangerous rival, while Aspoestertjie is also in the running for some place money at least.
