Forecasts

Lamloom (11/4), Election Day (3/1), Asaas (7/2), Rinaria (5/1), Everything For You (13/2), Muirsheen Durkin (16/1)

Could be a falsely run contest here, with either of Lamloom or Election Day disputing the lead, with the four other runners not far behind. A few chances can be given to most in this competitive contest, but I'm happy to settle for an all-the-way victory for Franny Norton and ELECTION DAY.
