Forecasts

Brazil Nut (11/10), Torio Lake (9/2), Wicked Grin (9/2), Black Gardenia (6/1), Varsity Bourbon (10/1), Bold Dreamer (10/1), Torre Del Oro (10/1), Thomas Shelby (12/1), Pomaceous (14/1), Love Potion (16/1), November Storm (20/1), Wildcat (20/1), Karakoram (25/1), Don't Be Blue (28/1)

BLACK GARDENIA's recent runs have been likeable on the whole and she is just about the pick in this company. Varsity Bourbon is the pick of the rest, while Love Potion also requires a closer look.
