Forecasts

Cerelia (3/1), Alaskan Fate (10/3), Frosty Rain (9/2), Beyond Temtation (11/2), Meercat (7/1), Princess Of Fire (14/1), With Our Blessing (14/1), Second Request (14/1), Vi Va Pi Pa (18/1), Mayfern (20/1), Mistress Of Means (28/1), Purple And Gold (33/1), Glad I Am (50/1), Duchess Of State (66/1)

ALASKAN FATE is narrowly favoured all things considered but has little margin for error. Cerelia is the next best alternative, while Beyond Temtation also demands scrutiny.
