Forecasts

She's A Machine (11/8), Safari Lodge (4/1), Tomyris (5/1), Volare E Mambo (11/2), Warrior Royale (6/1), State Secret (11/1), Grape Shot (12/1), Poursomesugaronme (16/1), She's A Bomber (20/1), Gorgeous Girl (22/1), Facile (33/1), Sweeter Than Honey (80/1)

SHE'S A MACHINE looks the one to be with, albeit narrowly. Poursomesugaronme could emerge as the main threat, while Tomyris is one to bear in mind as well.
