Forecasts

Alabama Anna (2/1), Elegant Ice (5/2), Platina Princess (5/1), Lucy In The Sky (11/2), Gimmealight (6/1), Soldier's Eye (16/1), Cape Lights (18/1), Bold Act (20/1), National Star (33/1), Eternal Life (33/1)

LUCY IN THE SKY looks the one to be with, but has little margin for error. Cape Lights is the most realistic second preference, while Alabama Anna is another with a place chance too.
