Forecasts

Certainly (9/4), Our Emily (7/2), Bonne Bouche (4/1), Sweet Symphony (6/1), Ancient Epic (7/1), Maquette (8/1), Sting Ray (10/1), Isn't She Bonny (12/1), Princess Tea (20/1), Princess Santo (40/1)

CERTAINLY has a clear chance. Maquette is tough to ignore, while Sting Ray can scrap it out for a place.
