Forecasts

Phedra (10/11), Kwinta's Light (2/1), Ekoria (9/2), Red Berry (7/1), Civil Rights (17/2), Tipsy Tina (10/1), Wishful Girl Linn (14/1), Chere For Me (22/1), Madame Vicki (25/1), Stolen Kiss (40/1), Franca (40/1), Sound Check (66/1)

PHEDRA is quite clearly in front of these formwise and looks to have a straightforward task. Kwinta's Light seems the most likely to take advantage if the selection fails to deliver, while Civil Rights heads up those chasing third place.
