Forecasts

Kailene (15/8), Pilot Flame (4/1), Poursomesugaronme (5/1), Higgledy Piggledy (15/2), Nellie Melba (8/1), Tomyris (10/1), Perilla (14/1), Fort J'adore (16/1), Skytrix (18/1), Blue Horizon (18/1), Aspoestertjie (20/1), Queen Of Smoke (33/1), Secret Winx (40/1)

POURSOMESUGARONME looks marginally the best of these but has little room for error. Nellie Melba seems the primary threat, while Fort J'adore is another to take into acount.
