Forecasts

Spring Kiss (15/8), Pretty Analia (4/1), Gilda Gray (9/2), Kitten's Adventure (8/1), Oh So Squishy (8/1), Roy's Rocker (10/1), English Primrose (12/1), Nonoti (20/1), Just Virginia (20/1), Hatta (25/1), Gelsomina (25/1), Vermacilli (33/1), Mystique Rouge (50/1)

PRETTY ANALIA has been hard to fault in recent runs and seems the one they have to beat. Spring Kiss could be the biggest danger, while Oh So Squishy commands a closer look as well.
