Forecasts

Rubies Are Red (5/4), Galileo Dame (13/8), Flight Of Fancy (9/2), Tranquillitatis (8/1), Ob La Di (12/1), Purple Sky (22/1), Luxurious Princess (66/1), Our Lil (200/1)

RUBIES ARE RED and Galileo Dame both shaped well first time out and are likely improvers, so they're likely to dominate this, with the first named marginally preferred. Flight of Fancy, a stablemate of the selection, also has some potential.
