Forecasts

Midnight Gem (5/2), Benguela Cove (11/4), Bequest (7/2), Look Yourself (5/1), Greens (10/1), All Of Me (12/1), Cold Fact (14/1), Kayla's Champ (18/1), Herstel (22/1), Victoria Paige (33/1)

BENGUELA COVE formwise holds a considerable advantage and shouldn't really be troubled. Bequest could give the selection most to think about, while Midnight Gem looks best of the remainder.
