Forecasts

Green Diamond (4/5), Zalatoris (11/4), Good For You (7/2), Military Command (7/2), Charming Cheetah (7/1), I'm A Fireball (10/1), African Pride (10/1), Little Boy Blue (16/1), Intensity (20/1), Kaalvoet (22/1)

GREEN DIAMOND is the one to beat judged on the form book and has a lot in her favour. Good For You is another who could play a major part in proceedings, while I'm A Fireball might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
