FLM 2006 predictions?

[Nigel]

Based on the 2004 edition of the race, that'll be two bushes visited per litre of grapefruit squash.

The women's race looks intriguing. Paula is at 1-4 on, with suzieq and stillwaddler worth an each-way bet at level 4-1. Tegla Larupe is looking doubtful as an investment at this level. News from the paddock suggests that she took such a fright from one of the British athletes' warm-up routine in Almeria that it cost 10 minutes off her normal pace.

It'll be tough to come back from there... (as indeed she is reported to have commented about Sweder's half-cocked shin).
