Forecasts

Warm Reception (11/8), Bakwena (3/1), Doitwithdiamonds (33/10), Gerbera (4/1), Streisand (17/2), Princess Ilaria (9/1), Across The Pond (12/1), Mountain High (18/1), Cocomelon (28/1)

PRINCESS ILARIA looks marginally the pick of this bunch and gets the narrow vote with her consistency hard to knock. Bakwena could be the one to profit if the selection underperforms, while Doitwithdiamonds is the third candidate for the places.
