Forecasts

Burmese Tiara (11/4), Kind Judy (10/3), Princess Kesh (7/2), Colorado Creek (11/2), Pretty In Pearls (15/2), Beguiling (8/1), Lidl Miss Sunshine (14/1), Antananarivo (14/1), Spirit Princess (20/1), Leonessa (25/1), Lady Dynamo (33/1)

COLORADO CREEK is easily the quickest in this line up and will take plenty of beating. Beguiling is marginally preferred for second, while Leonessa might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
