Forecasts

War Of Athena (10/11), Mk's Pride (3/1), Sentbydestiny (6/1), Ikigai (7/1), Forever Mine (14/1), Vars Vicky (20/1), Youcanthurrylove (20/1), Mardi Gras (25/1), Cirillo (28/1), Zillzaal (40/1)

SENTBYDESTINY left her previous effort behind on her latest start and has strong claims. War Of Athena should be thereabouts, while Mk's Pride is another to take into acount.
