Don't think Heather will win, but can't really have too many complaints about drawing Brengle, that's a very fair draw for an unseeded player at this stage.
I've never been massively convinced by Bouzkova despite her junior pedigree. She does have a 2-0 H2H over Katie and is coming into this on the back of a 125k final (where she lost 2 and 0 to Kudermetova yesterday. Could have been easier with KB being a seed, but she'll have a decent chance.
Unlucky draw for Harriet. Barthel coming into this on the back of a great week in IW and sufficient rest - beat Keys and Georges on her way to the L16, before losing to Venus. I've not checked, but that run may well have taken her past the seeding positions and into the main draw. Not a great draw either way.
Edit - Katie 8/13, Hev 6/4, Harriet 5/2 FWIW.

I've been to miami area several times around this time of year, Easter hols when kids where small, we often went to Naples which is just up the coast (we are going this year for first time in ten years in late may). Anyway, heat can be brutal , v humid, maybe some storms , even in March. Fitness will help. Much hotter than IW, not quite as bad as Melbourne, perhaps more like Qatar and Dubai recently, which are more humid than people realise and still around mid 80's in Feb. I'd guess miami is 80 f now bit haven't checked
