Forecasts

Ministry Of Peace (7/4), Mary Shoelaces (3/1), Hoover Dam (4/1), Genesis (11/2), Mm Dragonfly (10/1), Rybakina (16/1), Cool Dan (20/1), Dc Diva (40/1), The Expert (80/1), Eirinn Rua (150/1), Bettiesee (150/1), Little Empire (200/1), Old Chicago (200/1), Lough Alina (250/1)

A decidedly ordinary maiden which can go to MARY SHOELACES if reproducing her best in a first-time visor. Hoover Dam and Mm Dragonfly have both shown enough to be worthy of consideration, while newcomer Ministry of Peace wouldn't need to anything out of the ordinary to make an impact.
