Forecasts

Luna Halo (4/5), And We Danced (3/1), Lady Majorca (4/1), Sister Light (12/1), Silvery Blue (12/1), Crimson Princess (16/1), Chere For Me (18/1), Definitely Maybe (22/1), Treasure Hunt (25/1), Time For Glory (40/1), Pinnacle (50/1)

CRIMSON PRINCESS has largely been running well and seems likely to take the beating. Luna Halo could be the main danger, while Lady Majorca is one to bear in mind as well.
