Forecasts

One Smart Cookie (5/2), Princess Ilaria (3/1), Streisand (5/1), Faizah (5/1), Radu (8/1), Qhawekazi (8/1), Princess Palace (10/1), Greenlight Skye (14/1), Greenhouse (16/1), Ideal Gift (20/1), Zena Rose (22/1), Givers Grace (28/1), La Maddalena (66/1)

RADU is proving consistent and should give backers a run for their money. Ideal Gift is fancied as the best bet for second, while Faizah is another with the potential to be on the premises.
