Forecasts

Marmara Sea (9/4), Love Happens (10/3), Jaeger Moon (4/1), Miss Orange (9/2), Earth Hour (8/1), Aranjuez (11/1), Blackball (18/1), Dharma (18/1), Silver Tiara (22/1), Rattle Mouse (25/1)

MARMARA SEA is the tentative selection but will need to be on song. Earth Hour could have the most to offer of the others, while Aranjuez commands a second look as well.
