Forecasts

Southern Cape (13/8), Lady Tiptree (11/4), Desert Rose (4/1), Only Hearts (8/1), Zinikele (8/1), Luna Eclipse (11/1), Oh So Squishy (12/1), Let It Snow (16/1)

DESERT ROSE looks to have more or less the best credentials butit's an open race. Luna Eclipse is marginally preferred for second, while Lady Tiptree also merits respect.
