Forecasts

True To Life (3/1), Winter Smoke (9/2), Bold Ransom (9/2), Winter Stories (5/1), Bohica (9/1), Mombela (12/1), Epic Dream (14/1), Singforafa (14/1), Oravar (18/1), Miracle Flight (20/1), Old Man Tyme (25/1)

OLD MAN TYME's recent form just about edges this but will need everything to fall right. Winter Smoke could provide the sternest threat, while Oravar might well have a say as well.
