Forecasts

None Other (11/10), Strange Magic (7/2), Gimmealight (6/1), Kind Judy (7/1), Eternal Life (9/1), Quiet Rebellion (10/1), Admire Me (12/1), Southern Song (12/1), Sister Light (18/1), Ballroom Bliss (18/1)

QUIET REBELLION looks to have marginally the best claims. Kind Judy can also play a major role, while Southern Song isn't out of it either.
