Forecasts

White Pearl (5/6), Egyptian Mau (4/1), Leaving Las Vegas (8/1), Platina Princess (12/1), My Soul Mate (14/1), Ivy League (16/1), Bomber Girl (16/1), Storm Player (18/1), Let's Go Now (25/1), Tamil Tigress (28/1), Sigrid Swing (40/1)

WHITE PEARL is running really well right now as evidenced by her most recent effort and has leading claims. Bomber Girl is taken to follow the selection home, while Egyptian Mau also requires scrutiny.
