Forecasts

Bavarian Beauty (7/4), Tail Of The Comet (5/2), Winter Rainfall (7/1), Infrared (8/1), Storm Brasco (8/1), Rapidash (9/1), King Of The Gauls (18/1), Ready To Charge (18/1), Willie John (18/1), Just Be Lekker (22/1), Kupholiwe (28/1), Sunshine Day (28/1), Pritti Victory (33/1), King Of Spin (40/1), Tamil Tigress (50/1), Coastal Commander (66/1), Nocturnal Flight (66/1)

BAVARIAN BEAUTY left her previous form behind last time and is going to be hard to beat. Winter Rainfall is the most realistic second preference, while Ready To Charge is not out of it where the places are concerned.
