Forecasts

Gloria Mundi (13/8), Empress Wu (3/1), City Lights (7/2), Rising Russian (5/1), Regina Maris (9/1), Quello Che (10/1), Aftershock (20/1), Beverly Baby (33/1), Plum Blossom (50/1), Kivuli (80/1)

GLORIA MUNDI looks to have narrowly the best claims but will need to be on song. City Lights looks to have most to offer of the rest, while Rising Russian has place prospects as well.
