Forecasts

Gimme A Nother (1/3), Mrs Geriatrix (4/1), Humdinger (14/1), Bavarian Beauty (18/1), Lady Of Power (20/1), Emirate Gina (40/1), Gilded Butterfly (50/1), Perfect Witness (80/1)

HUMDINGER holds the cards on the form book and looks to have been let in lightly. Gimme A Nother gets the nod among the remainder, while Perfect Witness is another that could go well.
