Forecasts

Kind Judy (3/1), Queen Bomi (4/1), Wikkel Spikkel (4/1), Speechmaker (5/1), Petunia (8/1), Dutchessburnedette (11/1), Rose Willow (12/1), Little Rain (14/1), Sea Of Tranquility (16/1), Pick A Lily (22/1), Sacred Valley (33/1), Irish Dame (33/1), Savage Love (40/1), Evoke (50/1)

KIND JUDY is running well enough to merit close consideration. Petunia seems best of the rest, although Wikkel Spikkel might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
