Forecasts

Mcebisi (2/1), Jaipur Jewel (5/2), Porfirio (5/2), Blonde Act (9/2), Michelin Star (12/1), Grand Destiny (20/1), Takagari (28/1), Plenty Of It (66/1)

MCEBISI has a little in hand and gets the nod. Jaipur Jewel is the next best alternative, while Blonde Act might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
