Forecasts

Vitellius (2/1), Twice As Wild (9/4), Oriental Bouquet (5/1), Phala Millions (6/1), There She Goes (13/2), Nazare (7/1), Copper Mist (8/1), Lava Fire (12/1), Kotinos (14/1), Sahara Dawn (14/1), Gaelic Dancer (18/1)

THERE SHE GOES's recent efforts have been likeable on the whole and she is much the one to aim at. Sahara Dawn may be the best bet for second, while Vitellius is another with place prospects.
