Forecasts

Copper Eagle (5/4), Gerbera (7/2), Read All About It (7/2), Tenjiku (8/1), Chestnut Bomber (8/1), Enflame (12/1)

GERBERA's overall form just gives her the edge and she can resume winning ways. Read All About It should be right in the mix too, while Chestnut Bomber is another with place prospects also.
