Forecasts

Phedra (4/9), Bonnaroo (8/1), Aunty Lizzy (9/1), Civil Rights (12/1), Variety Breeze (14/1), Vihaan's Pie (14/1), Red Berry (14/1), Chere For Me (18/1), Princess Deb's (20/1), Stolen Kiss (20/1), Delicasea (25/1)

PHEDRA has obvious claims. Vihaan's Pie seems best of the rest, although Stolen Kiss also demands respect.
