Forecasts

State Of Mind (11/4), Point Of Sale (3/1), Fiftyshadesdarker (3/1), Princess Anastasia (6/1), Purple Moon's Up (7/1), Love Bomb (7/1), Jack's Bird (7/1), Electric Surge (9/1), Purple Persuasion (11/1), Simply Russian (18/1), Glory Days (33/1)

ELECTRIC SURGE just about edges it as the selection but needs to put a lesser effort behind her. Fiftyshadesdarker is probably the main danger, while State Of Mind commands respect as well.
