Forecasts

Flashy Apache (10/3), Bold Fortune (10/3), Electric Gold (7/2), Kind Judy (6/1), Captain Chorus (7/1), Ballroom Bliss (9/1), Stormy Winter (14/1), Youcanthurrylove (16/1), Origami (16/1), Barneys Pride (16/1), Afraad (20/1), Earl (33/1)

KIND JUDY has put together a solid series of recent efforts and is just about the pick in this field. Ballroom Bliss can give a good account, while Flashy Apache can't be ruled out of things either.
