Forecasts

Blindfire (2/1), Time For Charity (4/1), Gimmeforsure (5/1), Golden Aspen (11/2), Micke's Bomb (7/1), Misty Metal (15/2), Opera Fan (9/1), She's All Mine (22/1)

Verdict

OPERA FAN formwise has a clear edge and has a lot in her favour. Blindfire is difficult to ignore where second place is concerned, while Time For Charity edges it so far as third place is concerned.
