Forecasts

Roaming Spirit (4/11), Messalina (9/2), Trail Runner (5/1), Cape Saffron (12/1), Lapis Lazuli (16/1), Oasis (28/1), Lilac Snow (40/1), Amber Eyes (80/1), Chasing The Crown (100/1)

ROAMING SPIRIT's overall form just puts her out in front but she can't afford for much to go wrong. Messalina seemingly poses the biggest danger, while Trail Runner demands respect as well.
