Forecasts

Lagertha (11/8), Glowtoria (4/1), Belle Of Belize (7/1), Zodiac Princess (8/1), Ulla (10/1), Samoa (10/1), Magic Choice (14/1), Greenhill (14/1), Jam Fancy (14/1), Java House (20/1), Dalgety Bay (28/1), Countess Helen (33/1), Florence (33/1), Caerphilly (66/1), Broadway Babe (80/1)

GREENHILL is selected tentatively but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Magic Choice ought to go well too, while Samoa is the other candidate for the three.
