Forecasts

Three Rocks (1/1), Candy Town (7/2), Gimme's Lassie (17/2), Golden Pacific (9/1), Paris Lass (12/1), Tipsy Tina (14/1), Esther (22/1), Mythical Dream (25/1), Body Electric (33/1), Symbol Of Love (33/1), Miss Greenlight (40/1), Aunty Lizzy (50/1), Ancient Epic (66/1), Princess Deb's (66/1)

ESTHER looks to have more or less the best credentials. Three Rocks is the call to finish runner-up, while Golden Pacific can scrap it out for third.
