Forecasts

Freedom Seeker (3/1), Herrin (3/1), Shine A Light (7/2), Bad Habit (6/1), Tallahassee (8/1), Sofia Erin (17/2), Red Berry (9/1), French Joy (18/1), Lollapalooza (28/1), Mendocino (28/1)

BAD HABIT gets a narrow vote but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Shine A Light looks second best, while Red Berry could go well too.
