Forecasts

Mimikyu (9/4), One Evening (10/3), Mistressofillusion (7/2), Queen Emma (7/2), Vera Verto (7/1), Climate Friendly (12/1), Perfect Prophet (20/1), Pachmena (33/1), Lady Percival (50/1), Eloped (125/1)

MIMIKYU was far from disgraced at Longchamp last time and she's used to contesting better races than this, so she's preferred to stablemate One Evening in a race that the pair could dominate. Vera Verto is at the top of her game and is worthy of respect.
