Forecasts

Maria Quiteria (4/9), Belle Island (5/1), Brazilian Diva (6/1), Arrowstock (10/1), Whammy (14/1), Lamar River (14/1)

BELLE ISLAND appeals as a likely type on paper and earns the vote before market clues. Her stablemate Maria Quiteria may emerge as the chief threat, with Whammy another to monitor in the betting.
