Forecasts

Rabble Rouser (3/1), Fair Proposal (9/2), Ada Lovelace (11/2), Crystal Grove (10/1), Beautiful Rania (10/1), Kylie's Angel (10/1), Clairwood Rose (10/1), Opera Fan (10/1), Misty Metal (10/1), Sigrid Swing (10/1), Valieva (66/1)

ADA LOVELACE looks to have marginally the best credentials but has little margin for error in an open handicap. Opera Fan seems the primary challenger, while Sigrid Swing heads up those chasing third place.
