Forecasts

Silver Parasol (7/4), Lacewing (7/4), Messalina (5/2), Kuramathi (9/1), Blue Velvet (14/1), Quello Che (22/1), Path Fairy (33/1), Spirit In The Wind (100/1), Paradise Flower (100/1)

LACEWING is quite clearly in front of these formwise and looks to have a straightforward task. Silver Parasol can also play a part, while Quello Che is another with the potential to be on the premises.
