Forecasts

Iris (13/8), Joyful Noise (7/1), Social Butterfly (7/1), True Charm (15/2), Spring Break (9/1), Before The Dawn (9/1), Miracle Flight (9/1), Mendocino (12/1), Boomps A Daisy (12/1), Gin Fizz (12/1), Racine (25/1), La Bella Mia (28/1), Regal Graduation (50/1), Vodka Lime (50/1)

IRIS is just about the best hope here taking everything into account but it's an open race. Social Butterfly could be the one to take advantage if the selection underperforms, while Mendocino also commands a closer look.
