Forecasts

Bevies Delight (5/2), Patants Heir (11/4), Captain's Christy (9/2), Stormy Choice (10/1), Red Roses Too (10/1), Get In The Q (12/1), Valieva (12/1), Hot Pearl (12/1), Le Premiere (14/1), Convocation (14/1), War Empress (16/1), Vision To Achieve (16/1)

WAR EMPRESS has largely been running well and is just about the pick in this line up. Red Roses Too is the most realistic option for second, while Vision To Achieve also merits respect.
