Forecasts

Luna Halo (8/11), Red Sash (11/4), Gimme's Lassie (11/2), Golden Pacific (14/1), Back For More (14/1), Lady Silvano (16/1), Chere For Me (20/1), Rose Of Bayeux (33/1), Concerto (33/1), Lady Mistico (40/1)

LUNA HALO formwise has a clear edge and is quite a confident pick. Red Sash makes most appeal among the rest, while Back For More is prominent among those with minor place claims.
