Forecasts

Jazz Away (7/4), Lady Limoncello (9/4), Alakazam (11/4), Red Lhasa (13/2), Salagadoola (9/1), Lovely Dancer (20/1), Mediterraneanflame (20/1), World Of Diamonds (25/1), Ginger Rood (40/1), Mme Huntress (50/1), Good Company (100/1)

ALAKAZAM failed to justify market expectations last time out, but looks the one to be on once again. Mediterraneanflame is most likely the main threat, while Lovely Dancer deserves some consideration too.
