Forecasts

Mascherina (2/1), Foreshore (3/1), Celtic Beauty (5/1), Minogue (13/2), Petit Verdot (13/2), Imperious Destiny (8/1), Bitcoin Baby (11/1), Stormy Choice (12/1)

MASCHERINA just about gets the nod but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Petit Verdot is the other to focus on, while Imperious Destiny is another with place prospects too.
