Forecasts

Symphony In White (9/4), Kinda Wonderful (10/3), Southern Skies (4/1), Go Like Flo (11/2), Girl Like Us (15/2), Kyalami Girl (17/2), Gimmethatpearl (10/1), Trip To Maputo (28/1)

Verdict

SYMPHONY IN WHITE has put together a good series of efforts lately and should make a bold show. Girl Like Us is the most prudent second option, while Gimmethatpearl also requires respect.
