Forecasts

Coulditbe (15/8), Loreina (7/2), Enchanting Choice (7/2), Grandiosa (13/2), Dual Agent (15/2), Dream Searcher (12/1), Porto Zante (16/1), Figure Eight (18/1), Mothership (33/1), Telio (33/1), Summer Fling (40/1), Eye Catching (40/1)

DUAL AGENT looks to be the safest option but this is an open race. Grandiosa is most likely the sternest opposition, while Enchanting Choice could well have a say too.
