Forecasts

Golden Chandelier (5/2), Raining Rubies (7/2), Simply Magic (11/2), What A Lucy (6/1), Enchanting Lady (6/1), Dual Agent (17/2), Della's Sword (9/1), In The Ether (11/1), Micke's Bomb (14/1), Heirloom (22/1), Knockemstiff (25/1), Blup Blup (25/1), Spring Palace (25/1)

GOLDEN CHANDELIER was the beaten market pick on her most recent run, but edges it as the selection once again. Dual Agent could be the sternest opposition, while Raining Rubies edges it so far as third place is concerned.
