Forecasts

Mia Fiore (15/8), Quick Trip (3/1), Raining Rubies (10/3), Lady Elliot (9/2), Alesia's Love (8/1), Sahara Dawn (16/1), Lil Miss Moneybags (20/1), Time For Charity (28/1), Boom Boom (28/1), Vathomvlaffie (33/1), Primrose Path (40/1)

MIA FIORE couldn't justify market support on her most recent run, but looks worth another chance. Lady Elliot could be the main danger, while Raining Rubies is one to bear in mind as well.
