Forecasts

Maquette (3/1), Tara Star (3/1), Mamas Baby (10/3), War Empress (13/2), Arverni Princess (7/1), Hot Pearl (8/1), Full Of Magic (8/1), Pantea (33/1)

MAMAS BABY made a successful debut, is a smart prospect and is once more going to be hard to haul in. War Empress is preferred for the forecast, while Full Of Magic also requires respect.
