Forecasts

Time Flies (7/4), Metar (7/2), Symphony Of Light (6/1), Betty Boop (7/1), Strawberry Light (15/2), Fleeting (8/1), Greengrowthelilacs (9/1), Totally Rocks (16/1)

Verdict

METAR was right back to her best last time and sets the standard. Greengrowthelilacs is the rational second choice, while Strawberry Light also commands a second look.
