Forecasts

Purple Merchant (13/8), Mvulazana (3/1), Casa Rosada (7/2), Kitten's Adventure (11/2), Three Hearts (7/1), Flying The Star (17/2), Magicallee (14/1), Malvern (28/1)

MVULAZANA just about looks the one to be with on handicap debut. Casa Rosada gets the vote for second, while Purple Merchant is the third candidate for the three.
