Forecasts

Elembee (13/8), Wokonda (2/1), Simple Simple (7/1), Crimson Princess (7/1), National Star (10/1), Queen Of Smoke (10/1), I Am Regal (10/1), United Council (11/1), Kayla's Champ (12/1), Admire Me (14/1), Ululate (18/1), Beguiling (18/1), Lady Regent (22/1), Lee Express (50/1)

WOKONDA is in good heart right now and looks the one they all have to beat. Simple Simple is most likely the sternest opposition, while National Star also commands a second look.
