Forecasts

Inventrix (4/1), Palace Revolt (5/1), Jasiri (6/1), Whirlybird (7/1), After Hours (15/2), Coming In Hot (17/2), Neerah (9/1), Anytime Champ (11/1), Zoombomber (12/1), Gimme The Flame (14/1), Risky Business (14/1), Try Me (14/1), Written In Stone (16/1), Circus Lights (22/1), Circle Of Grace (28/1), Mandalay (50/1)

GIMME THE FLAME continues to run creditably and could be difficult to catch. Inventrix is probably the chief danger, while Whirlybird also requires a closer look.
