Forecasts

Cherry Pink (10/3), Alfarida (5/1), Miss Yvonne (7/1), Distillate (7/1), Not Even Maybe (15/2), Fendi (8/1), Master Garvey (9/1), Inthepoorhouse (11/1), Asgard's Captain (12/1), Meggy Moo (18/1), National Question (20/1), Famous Enough (33/1)

Another chance is given to NOT EVEN MAYBE, who wasn't suited by the stiffer test of stamina at Gowran last time and remains fairly treated. Alfarida and Cherry Pink head the list of dangers.
