Forecasts

She's A Cracker (4/1), Kay Tee Perry (4/1), Ocean Forest (4/1), Aryaam (5/1), Illuminate (8/1), Smoking Hot (8/1), Virocana (10/1), Smiley River (14/1), The Sash (25/1), Western Dance (50/1)

SHE'S A CRACKER headed the market last time out, but still appeals as the best option. Smiley River is next best, while Ocean Forest is prominent among those with minor place claims.
