Forecasts

Belle Of Belize (13/8), Pinnacle (4/1), Stolen Kiss (15/2), Twice To Heaven (8/1), Carbonado (9/1), Easy Living (11/1), Flame Flower (12/1), Phoenix (14/1), Meet At The George (14/1), Double Destiny (16/1), Wishful Girl Linn (18/1)

CARBONADO continues to run well and should make a bold show. Flame Flower seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while Pinnacle is the third candidate for the three.
