Forecasts

Beau Kala (13/8), Kilmonivaig (10/3), Dawn Of Gold (7/2), Saturn Moon (7/1), Maiden's Cove (8/1), Kavian's Cara (14/1), State Of Mind (16/1), More Than A Dream (16/1), Meeneera (20/1), Jambo Sana (25/1), Burn Baby Burn (25/1), Whataball (25/1)

BEAU KALA looks marginally the best in this field but has next to no margin for error. Dawn Of Gold may be the one for second, while Kilmonivaig commands a second look as well.
