Forecasts

Golden Sickle (7/4), Chocolate Soldier (4/1), Elegant Ice (11/2), Chasing Happiness (11/2), Time Fo Orchids (8/1), Red Bomber (8/1), Magic Tattoo (20/1), Ice Star (22/1), Mover And Shaker (25/1), Dreamland (28/1), Exchange Student (28/1), Tchaikovsky (40/1)

Verdict

TIME FO ORCHIDS took a large step back in the right direction again on her latest start and is arguably the one they have to beat. Magic Tattoo is the most pragmatic second option, while Elegant Ice also demands scrutiny.
