Forecasts

Twice A Miracle (5/6), Tuuletar (9/4), Kissed By Fire (5/1), Cape Bouquet (5/1), Apples And Things (14/1), After Me (16/1), Belle Ombre (22/1), Five Fortunes (25/1), Ladyofmylife (33/1), Cassowary (40/1)

TUULETAR has fewer question marks about her than the others but it's an open race. Twice A Miracle makes most appeal of the remainder, while Cape Bouquet shouldn't be far away.
