Forecasts

Everlasting (10/11), Bluedrum (10/3), Asian Daze (5/1), Kayhana (7/1), Girl Racer (11/1), Star Galaxy (12/1), Serialise (22/1), Zenga (33/1), Flying Phoenix (200/1)

ASIAN DAZE has returned an improved performer and gets the vote back up in grade. Everlasting steps down from the Irish 1000 Guineas and is a clear danger. Kayhana is another to consider.
