Forecasts

Duellona (5/4), Elusive Mata (11/4), Ponte Vecchio (3/1), Rain Bird (5/1), My True Love (10/1), Royal Venus (10/1), Allegra Rose (20/1), Montreal (22/1), Lava Fields (66/1)

DUELLONA just about gets the nod in this company. My True Love could be the answer to second spot, while Royal Venus looks best of the remainder.
