Forecasts

Ethical (13/8), Matcha Mint (2/1), Surprise Party (9/4), Rejuvenate (6/1), Hopscotch (8/1), Red Sparrow (8/1), Pomozelous (9/1), Pepper Tree (14/1), Party Punch (28/1), Count Your Chances (50/1)

SURPRISE PARTY's overall form just gives her the edge and the return to this less exacting company can see her competitive again. Matcha Mint could provide most competition, while Rejuvenate is another likely to be on the premises.
