Forecasts

Qhawekazi (9/4), Gimmethelimelight (11/4), Two A Penny (5/1), Devilishlygorgeous (9/1), Sun Spectacular (11/1), Saint Brigid (11/1), Eternal Optimist (16/1), Wedding Bells (16/1), Fairfield (18/1), National Disgrace (20/1), Goddex Aphaea (25/1), Cicadidae (28/1), Flamboyant Flyer (33/1), Tokyo Princess (50/1), Redroseoflancaster (50/1)

GIMMETHELIMELIGHT is running very well and is the one to catch. Eternal Optimist makes most appeal of the rest, while Qhawekazi merits respect also.
