Forecasts

Zanetto (4/7), Corvette Captain (6/1), Life Goes On (15/2), Java House (8/1), Excellarator (17/2), Tallinn (11/1), Sabrina Fairchild (20/1), Looking Hot (20/1), Urban Rock (20/1), Back To Basics (22/1), Snow Symphony (22/1), Freedom Dancer (25/1)

BACK TO BASICS has been running creditably of late and is just about the pick in this company. Java House is most likely the toughest threat, while Zanetto heads up those chasing third place.
