Forecasts

Impressive Duchess (3/1), Emerald Crest (7/2), Muleta (4/1), Candy Galore (4/1), Dancing Queen (6/1), Sweet Sensation (10/1), True Charm (12/1), Winter Watch (16/1), Before The Dawn (20/1), Nina Amelia (80/1)

MULETA got back on track last time out and sets the bar high. Impressive Duchess seems the leading threat, while Emerald Crest is another with the potential to figure.
