Forecasts

Free In Seattle (2/1), Reflective (5/1), Teo Torriatte (6/1), Wagram (6/1), Sneak Preview (13/2), Instant Attraction (8/1), One Religion (8/1), Elembee (10/1), Pearl In Her Crown (11/1), Secret Recipe (18/1), Damova (20/1), Annewithan E (25/1), Red Sparrow (40/1), Party Punch (50/1)

INSTANT ATTRACTION looks the one to be with, albeit narrowly but will need everything to fall right. Sneak Preview is fancied as the best alternative, while Wagram commands respect as well.
