Forecasts

White Pearl (7/4), Egyptian Mau (10/3), Gimme A Nother (9/2), Ivy League (7/1), Betula (12/1), Leaving Las Vegas (14/1), Let's Go Now (18/1), My Soul Mate (18/1), Platina Princess (25/1), Key Element (33/1), My Lady Soul (33/1), Soldier's Eye (33/1), Tamil Tigress (40/1), Little Miz Swagger (40/1)

WHITE PEARL has fewer question marks about her than the others but this is an open race. Soldier's Eye can emerge second best, while Platina Princess is another with place prospects.
