Forecasts

Idabelle (3/1), Splash Of Green (4/1), State Of Mind (9/2), Batik (5/1), Colorama (7/1), Global Goddess (8/1), Defining Moment (11/1), Eclair (11/1), Triomphe (12/1), Venus De Milo (16/1), Elusive Jewel (16/1), United Express (16/1), Marshmallow (20/1)

COLORAMA has been hard to fault in recent outings and sets the bar. Global Goddess is tough to ignore where second place is concerned, while Defining Moment should go well too.
