Does Rika Hongo have any chance at the GPF? She has 22 points (mostly from her win at RC). It looks to me like to make the final, one needs at least 24 points?
Probably not, unless Satoko or Kanako bomb at NHK which is highly unlikely. Out of the Japanese ladies, my money is on Satoko to be in the final six due to her consistency.
I hope Ashley is the final too, to show that she is still in the mix

According to past experience, anything with more than 24 points should qualify. Those on 24 may or may not, depending on tie break. With 4 events down, here is the status:
http://www.isuresults.com/events/gp2014/gpsladies.htm
Qualified: Tuk, Pog
With TEB being a pretty sure podium of Rad (15), Lip (13) and Wagner (13), whoever place 1st and 2nd should be safe. Rad is also safe if she places 3rd. If Lip or Wagner place third, they will likely have to go to tie break. It's likely to be Wagner, but Wagner has a relatively high score for her first event and is likely safe even with 3rd. Cesario or Hicks have to win to even be on tie break and that's unlikely.
Assuming 2 to 3 qualify at TEB, that leaves 1 to 2 spots for NHK. Miyahara, Gold and Murakami are on 11 each and whichever one of them that wins will qualify. Whichever that gets silver will likely be on tie break with whoever that ends up with 24 points after TEB. If Edmunds wins, she gets to 24 and most likely on tie break.
Given how everyone skated in their event, I am going to predict the qualifiers are:
Tuk, Pog, Rad (1st, TEB), Lip (2nd TEB), Miyahara (1st NHK) and Wagner (3rd TEB)
With alternates being Gold, Murakami and Hongo. (If Edmunds wins silver at NHK, she gets 22 points too and will be another tie break with Hongo for the last spot on the alternate list)
