Forecasts

Coming In Hot (5/2), Baby Dont Hurt Me (11/4), Meet The Captain (3/1), Corvette Captain (10/3), Cross Examiner (14/1), Lizado (16/1), Caruso (16/1), Meteoric (16/1), Just As Rich (20/1), Princess Queen (33/1)

MEET THE CAPTAIN looks to have narrowly the best credentials but it's an open race. Cross Examiner is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Coming In Hot shouldn't be discarded.
