Forecasts

Petit Verdot (2/1), Wonderful (5/2), Sea Goddess (3/1), Princess Arlowe (4/1), Crazy Blues (11/2), Bitcoin Baby (13/2), Mel's Princess (9/1), Sing For Winter (25/1)

SEA GODDESS is selected tentatively in an open race. Mel's Princess is most likely the sternest threat, while Petit Verdot looks another that has to be reckoned with.
