Forecasts

Montelena (13/8), Red Sash (11/4), Gocekwithlove (4/1), Essential (4/1), Chere For Me (17/2), Strange Magic (18/1), United Express (40/1)

CHERE FOR ME holds a sizeable advantage on form and isn't easy to look past. Gocekwithlove is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Red Sash is another with the potential to figure.
