Forecasts

United Council (6/4), My Soul Mate (3/1), Damova (4/1), Explosive Bond (13/2), Littlemarysunshine (11/1), Silky Jet (12/1), Patches Of Grey (25/1), Flamboyant Flyer (28/1)

UNITED COUNCIL was much improved in her most latest start and is the one to beat. My Soul Mate makes most appeal of the remainder, while Littlemarysunshine shouldn't be ruled out.
