Forecasts

Vadiana (11/4), Behind The Scenes (10/3), Persian Jewel (7/2), Many Tears (17/2), Didn'thavemuchtodo (17/2), Flame Of Eire (14/1), Hodd's Girl (18/1), Dance Night Andday (20/1), Time To Boogie (25/1), Eclat De Lumiere (25/1), Keep In Touch (28/1), Dame Kiri (40/1)

HODD'S GIRL holds the edge on form and can boast a superb record round here so gets the nod in a competitive listed contest. Didn'thavemuchtodo has the form to play a big part too so heads the list of dangers ahead of Keep In Touch and Behind The Scenes.
