Forecasts

Gia Darling (11/4), Ducal Crown (9/2), Punda Maria (9/2), Puffing (5/1), Makarova (5/1), Lady Madonna (15/2), Shifter (20/1), Twilight Bay (50/1), Ummsuquaim (125/1)

Not a lot to go on with seven of the 9 making their respective debuts. With that in mind and without the benefit of market clues, the token vote goes to MAKAROVA. She's related to some 2-y-o winners and it would come as no surprise to see her go well. Gia Darling and Lady Madonna are a couple of others to consider.
