Forecasts

Winter Greeting (9/4), What A Honey (3/1), Mythical Dream (7/2), Coldhardstare (4/1), Second Breath (9/2), Emerald Princess (11/2), Lucy In The Sky (14/1)

WHAT A HONEY has been in good heart of late and is probably the one to beat. Mythical Dream is marginally preferred for second, while Second Breath may grab a bit more place money.
