Forecasts

Amazon Orchid (7/2), Rozara (9/2), Flower Of Scotland (6/1), Bat Out Of Hell (13/2), Miracle And Wonder (7/1), Zodiac Princess (8/1), Meteoric (8/1), Fantasy Flower (11/1), Cocoa Hill (12/1), Stolen Kiss (14/1), Winter Renegade (22/1), Great Diva (40/1)

COCOA HILL's overall form just gives her the edge but she hasn't much room for error. Rozara rates the main opposition, while Amazon Orchid is not out of it where the places are concerned.
