Forecasts

Peregrine Falcon (3/1), Maverick Queen (10/3), Phala Millions (4/1), Daring Act (11/2), Falcon Strike (7/1), Jet Cat (12/1), Golden Aspen (12/1), Sahara Dawn (14/1), Oriental Bouquet (14/1), Spirited Girl (20/1), Sail The Sky (25/1), King Bluetooth (50/1), Trip To States (80/1), Gal Gadot (100/1)

PHALA MILLIONS could be the way to go. Maverick Queen is dangerous, while Peregrine Falcon looks third best.
