Forecasts

Spumante Dolce (1/1), Vj's Angel (11/4), Fiery Pegasus (7/1), Olivia's Way (8/1), World Of Alice (18/1), Willy Meet Again (28/1), Gerbera (40/1), Hat's Queen (40/1), Care Forgot (50/1), Sensoria (66/1), Bakwena (66/1)

VJ'S ANGEL has very good form claims and ought to win comfortably. Olivia's Way should be involved at the business end as well, while Spumante Dolce is one to bear in mind as well.
