Forecasts

Afternoon Tea (7/4), Variety Breeze (3/1), Bad Habit (11/2), Herrin (13/2), Capulet's Heart (10/1), Gimme Gimme Gimme (11/1), Opera Swing (14/1), Forest Field (20/1), Shine A Light (25/1), Stella Act (25/1), All Things Nice (33/1), Mendocino (40/1)

OPERA SWING is in a good spell of form and seems the one they have to beat. Gimme Gimme Gimme seems the leading threat, while Variety Breeze looks the one for the minor money.
