Forecasts

Mythical Dream (7/4), Rose For Trippi (11/4), Wings Of Nike (9/2), Dancing Dora (6/1), Rozara (6/1), Blue Waters (11/1), Rose Velvet (16/1), Princess Nicole (33/1)

BLUE WATERS appears to have just enough in hand to take this but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Mythical Dream earns the vote for second, while Dancing Dora also commands respect.
