Forecasts

Miss Christmas (9/4), Chateau Futura (3/1), Aunt Pittypat (4/1), Paradise Flower (9/2), Kit Kat Katie (9/2), Ideal Heart (16/1), Apache Love (33/1)

KIT KAT KATIE has been operating at a solid level lately and is probably the one to beat. Chateau Futura is most likely the chief threat, while Miss Christmas deserves respect as well.
