Forecasts

Ready To Charge (13/8), Elegant Ice (7/4), Mount Pilatus (13/2), Zinovi (15/2), Princeofgreen (12/1), Chasing Happiness (14/1), Sunshine Day (16/1), Copper Mist (22/1), Blue Waters (40/1)

ELEGANT ICE was the beaten market choice on her most recent run, but edges it as the selection once again. Chasing Happiness likely poses the biggest threat, while Zinovi might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
