Forecasts

Rifle Queen (10/11), Poblano (9/2), Green Diamond (11/2), Little Ballerina (13/2), Chasing Happiness (15/2), Just The Two Of Us (12/1), Glastonbury (14/1), Arverni Princess (25/1)

POBLANO holds a definite advantage on form and is the one to beat. Rifle Queen gets the nod among the remainder, while Little Ballerina is another that should go well.
