Salenio Peninsula (6/4), Miss Lia (7/4), Francilien (11/2), It's Her Way (8/1), Honorable Member (11/1), Silver Parasol (14/1), Accept Cookies (22/1), Lucy In The Sky (33/1), Cocomelon (33/1), Women Of Fame (50/1)

SALENIO PENINSULA looks to have marginally the best credentials but this is an open race. It's Her Way should be thereabouts as well, while Honorable Member can't be ruled out of it either.
