Forecasts

Gobsmacked (2/1), Quantum Theory (11/4), Far Away Winter (5/1), Mercantour (6/1), Maharanee (11/1), Trompie (14/1), Rulership (14/1), Miss Daisy (28/1), Mighty Goddess (50/1)

Verdict

GOBSMACKED took her form up another grade last time and has a clear chance. Rulership could emerge as the main threat, while Quantum Theory isn't entirely out of it either.
