Forecasts

Witblits (6/4), Let's Go Now (11/2), Tulip Tree (13/2), Bonete (7/1), Perfect Witness (9/1), Juliet Tango (14/1), Terra Time (18/1), Littlemarysunshine (18/1), Crimson Princess (22/1), Say Yes (25/1), Bellevarde (28/1), Red Maple (28/1), Kwazzi's Lady (40/1), High Roller (40/1)

Verdict

JULIET TANGO looks marginally the best of these but it's competitive. Littlemarysunshine could provide the main opposition, while Say Yes may grab a bit more place money.
