Forecasts

Ladybug (7/2), Avernian Goddess (7/2), Papillon Blu (5/1), Buttercup Baby (6/1), Ethereal View (8/1), Rugger Lover (9/1), She's A Machine (10/1), Princess Goldie (12/1), Mamas Baby (18/1), Icy Lancaster (20/1), Blind Speed (22/1), Green Valkyrie (22/1)

LADYBUG can strike. Rugger Lover has to come into the equation, while Avernian Goddess is another to take into account.
