Forecasts

Rainbow Lorikeet (4/1), Princess Izzy (9/2), Be Merry (5/1), Kinda Wonderful (5/1), Lock And Key (6/1), I'm So Pritti (7/1), Callmegetrix (15/2), Gold Poker Game (10/1), Scarlet Macaw (11/1), My Flower Fate (12/1), Gimmethatpearl (14/1), Miss World (16/1), Kyalami Girl (28/1)

MISS WORLD holds a sizeable advantage on the form book and isn't easy to look past. Be Merry is the most pragmatic second option, while Callmegetrix is another who could figure.
