Forecasts

Vihaan's Queen (4/9), Madame Pompadour (6/1), Havre De Grace (8/1), Blue Horizon (8/1), Sweeter Than Honey (17/2), Magic Maverick (33/1), Lemon Scent (40/1), Long Street (40/1)

VIHAAN'S QUEEN earns the narrow vote but it's open. Sweeter Than Honey is probably the biggest danger, while Madame Pompadour also commands a second look.
