Forecasts

Enchanted Creek (10/3), Love Is A Rose (7/2), Quickstep (5/1), Beneath The Moon (11/2), Metar (8/1), Lucy The Pink (17/2), Song (10/1), Call It Fate (11/1), Air Of Royalty (11/1), Costa Smeralda (12/1), Della's Sword (20/1), Cruizin California (33/1)

LUCY THE PINK looks marginally the best in this field but it's an open race. Beneath The Moon looks the most dangerous opponent, while Love Is A Rose isn't out of it either.
