Forecasts

Donna Mo (4/1), Hold My Hand (4/1), Saartjie (9/2), Ivy League (5/1), Poorlittlerichgirl (8/1), Lucky Miss (14/1), Juliet Tango (16/1), Ballroom Bliss (18/1), Danse Milord (20/1), Rockie Reef (25/1), African Beat (25/1), Future Girl (28/1), Mountainsofthemoon (28/1), Grandi Orecchie (33/1), Givers Grace (40/1), Damostar (40/1)

DANSE MILORD looks to have marginally the best chance but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Lucky Miss could emerge as the main danger, while Donna Mo is the third candidate for the three.
