Forecasts

Duchess Of Now (7/4), Bella Black (9/2), Afternoon Tea (13/2), Lagertha (13/2), Twelve Oaks (8/1), The Villa Grand (11/1), Path To The Stars (12/1), Capitiana (14/1), Jam Fancy (14/1), Lady Nica (16/1), Madame Patrice (25/1), Flash Rock (28/1), Miss Khalifa (33/1), Oksana (33/1), Initiator (40/1)

LAGERTHA continues to operate somewhere near current peak and seems likely to take the beating. Lady Nica is most likely the biggest danger, while Madame Patrice might be worth siding with for third.
