Forecasts

Princess Deb's (2/1), Delicasea (4/1), Angel Deb's (5/1), Variety Breeze (11/2), I Like It Hot (6/1), Tipsy Tina (17/2), Mur Mur (12/1), Rainbow Thief (14/1), Time Chaser (20/1)

I LIKE IT HOT looks marginally the pick in this field. Variety Breeze could be the one to benefit if the selection underperforms, while Princess Deb's is another with a place chance too.
