Forecasts

Grandi Orecchie (7/4), Sing For Winter (11/4), Mel's Princess (9/2), Midnight Crystal (5/1), Boogie Shoes (7/1), Two Minds (14/1), Oh So Squishy (16/1), Rise (20/1), Sea Goddess (22/1)

TWO MINDS is running well enough to take this but this is an open race. Sing For Winter is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Boogie Shoes is prominent among those with minor place claims.
