Forecasts

Paris Opera (5/2), Sweet Karma (7/2), Subterfuge (5/1), Val Gardena (13/2), Vihzoe's Magic (15/2), Karen Blixen (10/1), Madam Seville (12/1), Hidden Strings (16/1), Justadoreher (22/1), Olivine (25/1), Elusive Diva (25/1), In Full Bloom (28/1), Shahidi (33/1), Queen Jay (33/1), Decadent Lady (40/1), Gallic Girl (40/1), Hupernikao (40/1), Clock Stopper (66/1)

KAREN BLIXEN is narrowly favoured all things considered but it's a tight race. Subterfuge is most likely the sternest threat, while Sweet Karma deserves some consideration as well.
