Forecasts

Calantha (15/8), Miss Lia (4/1), Just The Two Of Us (5/1), Kindred Heart (11/2), Salenio Peninsula (6/1), Night Vigil (8/1), Bosum Buddy (10/1), Exchange Student (12/1), Callmewhenuneedme (12/1), Green Flash (22/1), Duenna (25/1), Wings Within Me (33/1)

NIGHT VIGIL can win again. Green Flash seems the most likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Kindred Heart can win the battle for minor honours.
