Forecasts

Neptunian (3/1), Spring Is Sprung (10/3), A Sure Welcome (9/2), Flamenco Fan (6/1), Botanist (8/1), Yimou (11/1), Secret Strength (14/1), Rainbow Mirage (16/1)

FLAMENCO FAN was on the up before a blip last time and, with Benoit de la Sayette taking over, she gets the vote in what may be a tightly-knit contest. Spring Is Sprung and A Sure Welcome are two of several who could also play a part.
