Forecasts

Pretty In Pearls (11/4), Gilda Gray (4/1), A Place In The Sun (9/2), Princess Azariah (5/1), Memorial Day (13/2), Midnight Crystal (7/1), Paschals Samore (9/1), Turn The Page (16/1), Annewithan E (16/1), Have A Party (20/1), Skyfull (20/1), Lidl Miss Sunshine (25/1)

PRINCESS AZARIAH is probably the one to beat. Memorial Day also demands a closer look, while Pretty In Pearls could figure also.
