Forecasts

Montelena (7/4), Summer Lily (5/2), Unconquerable Lady (5/1), Fun Zone (11/2), My Flower Fate (13/2), Japanese Rose (10/1), Kinky Boots (14/1), Flying V (20/1), Gimmeafirst (40/1)

MY FLOWER FATE looks marginally the best of these. Flying V could be the toughest opponent, while Summer Lily has place prospects as well.
