Forecasts

Morgan La Fay (3/1), Sleek As Silk (4/1), Imperious Destiny (9/2), Red Roses Too (5/1), Mission Rocks (11/2), Time For Glory (15/2), Zinikele (8/1), Mvulazana (8/1), Lillybelle (10/1), Danse Milord (10/1), Woodland Retreat (12/1), Toto (16/1), Aisling (22/1)

SLEEK AS SILK's recent runs have been likeable on the whole and she is the one they all have to beat. Mission Rocks could emerge as the main danger, while Morgan La Fay demands respect as well.
