Forecasts

Direct Hit (7/2), Disting (11/2), Symphony In White (7/1), Asiye Phambili (8/1), She's My World (8/1), Candy Town (17/2), Green Diamond (9/1), Miss World (10/1), Roccapina (10/1), Wild Wild Green (22/1), Festival Chic (25/1), Be Merry (33/1), Artiste (33/1), Hierarchy (33/1)

MISS WORLD could be difficult to catch. Symphony In White may be the toughest threat, while Disting might be worth siding with for third.
