Forecasts

Greengrowthelilacs (2/1), Sybaris (10/3), Liverpool Legend (7/1), Fasinada (17/2), Kind Judy (9/1), Queen Bomi (10/1), Cap Estel (10/1), Gilda Gray (14/1), Miss Otis (14/1), Rabia The Rebel (20/1), Run For Isla (22/1), Dutchessburnedette (25/1), Wedding Bliss (33/1), Winning Queen (40/1), Saffron Rain (66/1)

FASINADA is just about up to taking this but it's an open race. Sybaris arguably sets the standard among the remainder, while Kind Judy might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
