My guess would be:
1) Mao
2) Julia
3) Akiko
4) Adelina
Mao will probably get the "e" call on her lutz because it is so egregious, but I think in Japan the home cooking would result in no "<" if she skated her LP here like she did in Sochi. In Japan if she is relatively clean she will win on TES alone, and have a bigger margin with the best PCS. I think Julia will learn from her Sochi mistakes and skate two error-free programs. Akiko will skate well and I expect her to take bronze after she wowed everyone at Nationals. I expect Adelina to have a bit of a letdown after her Olympic title, especially since she is rarely in the form she showed in Sochi. My biggest hope is that Japan, USA, and Russia are able to secure 3 spots each for 2015 Worlds.
