Forecasts

Bella Rosa (7/2), Quattro Passi (4/1), In Cahoots (5/1), Lulu's Boy (11/2), Sergei (6/1), Courante (6/1), The Makwakkers (13/2), Speechmaker (10/1), Corapi (11/1), Cocoa Hill (14/1), Desert Crusader (28/1), Stupefy (40/1), Joint Effort (50/1), Jackman (66/1)

LULU'S BOY should be in the mix. Bella Rosa heads the dangers, while Courante might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
