Forecasts

Mckenna Skye (15/8), Belle Of Belize (7/2), Lucky Miss (9/2), Princess Donelly (13/2), Maidens Prayer (7/1), Bingin Beach (7/1), Crazy Blues (9/1), Oh So Squishy (9/1), Tupelo Honey (12/1), Purple Merchant (14/1), Jack's Bird (20/1)

MAIDENS PRAYER earns the narrow vote but can't afford for much to go wrong. Belle Of Belize could be the main opposition, while Lucky Miss can't be ruled out of things either.
