Forecasts

Kiss Me Captain (11/8), No Time Is Taken (4/1), Special Variety (9/2), On Cue (15/2), Golden Aspen (8/1), Love Bite (9/1), Samoa (12/1), Shikoku (25/1), Song Of Liberty (33/1)

Verdict

SAMOA has been operating at a solid level lately and just about gets the nod in this field. Special Variety has the strongest claims of the others, while No Time Is Taken is another to consider.
