Forecasts

Nautic Star (2/1), Stooked (11/4), Rebel Wave (4/1), Vishaya (5/1), Pink Coral (11/2), Saga Lucia (10/1), Otsana (14/1), Lilli's Angel (20/1), Never The Same (22/1), Caislean Ni Cuan (40/1), Kidd (400/1), Wooloongabba (400/1)

Form picks NAUTIC STAR and Vishaya both have similar profiles with the former shading the vote. Rebel Wave was only just denied at Limerick 4 weeks ago and is another to consider.
