Forecasts

Hodgepodge (15/8), Among The Clouds (11/4), Plum Pudding (4/1), Sonata Samaritan (15/2), Queen Amina (8/1), Ideal Gift (9/1), Escapologist (10/1), Ginger Delight (16/1), Flying Hafla (20/1), Pull A Fast One (50/1)

IDEAL GIFT's recent starts have had a lot to like about them and she is just about the pick in this field. Sonata Samaritan is most likely the sternest opposition, while Plum Pudding is the third candidate for the three.
