Forecasts

Ceuta (5/2), Princess Ilaria (7/2), Alabama Anna (4/1), Juliet Tango (4/1), Zenobia's Gold (13/2), Courageous (15/2), Elembee (10/1), Sound Machine (14/1), Primrose Path (33/1), Superskitt (40/1), Last Ginger (40/1)

PRINCESS ILARIA just about gets the nod. Zenobia's Gold looks the most dangerous opponent, while Elembee might be best of the others.
