Forecasts

Cullinan Blue (6/5), Troppo Veloce (11/8), One Fell Swoop (15/2), Leaving Las Vegas (14/1), Happy Analia (14/1), Dolcezza (16/1), Love Tap (20/1), Moving In (28/1), Foreverinmydreams (28/1), Whirlybird (33/1), Hillary Step (33/1)

TROPPO VELOCE let her backers down last time, but is taken to make the most of this opportunity. Cullinan Blue seems the primary challenger, while One Fell Swoop merits respect as well.
