Forecasts

Mary's Greenlight (13/8), Dancing Arabian (3/1), Beguiling (10/3), Queen Bomi (5/1), Striking Angel (9/1), Annewithan E (14/1), Spring In Heaven (16/1), Skyfull (16/1), Solo Diva (18/1), Fasinada (28/1), Woman Of Substance (33/1), Storm Jewel (40/1), Petunia (66/1)

ANNEWITHAN E looks to have narrowly the best claims but has little room for error. Beguiling could be the sternest opposition, while Skyfull is another that merits respect.
