Forecasts

Captain's Christy (9/4), Russian Doll (7/2), Vision To Achieve (4/1), Patants Heir (9/2), Tara Star (9/2), War Empress (5/1), Convocation (10/1), Le Premiere (16/1), Hot Pearl (20/1), Sign Of Fate (25/1)

VISION TO ACHIEVE looks to have more or less the best credentials but it promises to be touch and go. Russian Doll is just about preferred for second, while Captain's Christy may be the one for third.
