Forecasts

Sukhumvit (7/4), Frances Ethel (4/1), Mary's Greenlight (6/1), Explosive Bond (6/1), Forgiveness (17/2), One Religion (11/1), Damostar (18/1), Kadizora (20/1), Mount Etna (25/1), Patches Of Grey (33/1), Darling Harbour (40/1), Be Real (40/1), Azaleas For All (50/1), Crimson Forest (66/1)

MARY'S GREENLIGHT showed much improved form last time compared to the run before and should come home in front. Sukhumvit makes most appeal among the rest, while Darling Harbour also needs a closer look.
