Forecasts

Gimme's Lassie (11/8), Summer Odyssey (3/1), Montelena (4/1), Ellorix (5/1), Back For More (10/1), White Hills (10/1), Idita (22/1), Catch Your Breath (25/1)

MONTELENA looks marginally the pick in this field. Summer Odyssey could provide the sternest opposition, while Gimme's Lassie has minor place claims.
