Here are the current standings halfway through:
1 Stefania BERTON ITA 9 11 20 3 249.71 2 154.77 82.15 94.94 71
2 Yukiko FUJISAWA JPN 15 15 1 148.25 1 97.93 97.93 50.32 36
3 Kristine MUSADEMBA USA 15 5 1 143.02 1 89.84 89.84 53.18 35
4 Amanda DOBBS USA 15 15 1 139.44 1 88.98 88.98 50.46 27
5 Melissa BULANHAGUI USA 15 15 1 127.25 1 76.89 76.89 50.36 36

I believe that Yukiko, Kristine, Amanda, Melissa, Angela, and Alexe will follow through and qualify. That's 6 out of 8.
For the other 2 spots, much will depend on where Yukiko, Diane Szmiett, and Cecylia Witkowski have their 2nd assignment. Cape Town is already a tough draw with Alexe, Amanda, Rumi Suizu, Sarah Hecken, and Yuki Nishino, so I'll assume that Yukiko will skate in Sheffield. It is perhaps too late to move Rylie Mcculloch-Casarsa out of Madrid, so I'll assume that Diane will skate in Gomel and Cecylia in Sheffield.
At 13 points are Becky and Rumi. Becky looks well positioned for 2nd place as Diane Szmiett and Stefania, who finished 3rd and 4th behind her in Courchevel, aren't competing against her in Madrid. It's likely then that they'll only be 1 spot in the JGPF remaining. Rumi is in that tough draw in Cape Town. A 3rd place finish would likely lose out due to tiebreakers. Rumi will need a 2nd place against that tough crowd.
At 11 points are Diane, Sarah, and Min-Jung Kwak. Diane could qualify with a 2nd place in Gomel due to tiebreakers. Same with Sarah in Cape Town and Min-Jung in Sheffield, but with higher scores than Diane.
At 9 points are Shoko Ishikawa, Brittney, and Cecylia Witkowski. I think it'll take a win to get in from this far down. I believe that Brittney can do it.
So I'm expecting that to qualify, 24 points with a good tiebreaker will be needed.
