Forecasts

Silver Hills (4/1), Lady Of Power (9/2), Bonete (9/2), Good Queen Bess (11/2), Perfect Witness (13/2), Juliet Tango (9/1), Humdinger (11/1), Terra Time (12/1), Peach Daiquiri (16/1), Sign Of Fate (20/1), Reny (28/1)

GOOD QUEEN BESS is in a good run of form and seems the one they have to beat. Juliet Tango might be the answer to second spot, while Terra Time is another that merits respect.
