Forecasts

My One And Only (11/8), Neerah (4/1), Heirloom (8/1), Beaded Gown (8/1), Take Your Place (10/1), Waitforgreenlight (10/1), Faithful Neo (10/1), Micke's Bomb (12/1), Inventrix (16/1), Smelting (28/1), Glawari (33/1), Royal Horizon (40/1)

MY ONE AND ONLY holds a considerable advantage formwise and is a straightforward pick. Waitforgreenlight is just about preferred for second, while Take Your Place could go well too.
