Forecasts

Chat Ching (5/6), Maledimo (4/1), Rain In Newmarket (9/1), Lemon Delight (10/1), La Quinta (12/1), Pink Tourmaline (14/1), Veronica Mars (18/1), Really Royal (25/1), Tallahassee (33/1), Helen's Blush (80/1), In A Huff (100/1)

MALEDIMO has been running consistently well lately and will be hard to beat. La Quinta seems the most likely to capitalise if the selection fails to deliver, while Veronica Mars looks third best.
