Forecasts

Lady Rascal (11/4), Climate Precedent (3/1), Different Tone (10/3), Victoria County (11/2), Manuelito (11/2), Alpina Express (7/1), I Still Have Faith (16/1), Savvy Brilliance (20/1)

A competitive class 5 but LADY RASCAL arguably has the most potential of those towards the top of the ratings so gets the vote. Climate Precedent and Manuelito head the dangers.
