Forecasts

Red Palace (5/2), Happy Chance (4/1), Rascova (11/2), Beating Wings (13/2), Saartjie (15/2), Gilded Butterfly (16/1), Hold My Hand (16/1), Bellevarde (20/1), Future Girl (20/1), Perfect Witness (20/1), None Other (28/1), Special Charm (28/1), Red Maple (28/1), Lady Of Power (33/1), Ivy League (50/1)

HAPPY CHANCE appears to have just enough in hand to take this but has next to no margin for error. Rascova is most likely the sternest opposition, while Red Palace enters calculations for third place.
