Forecasts

Crafty Heart (11/8), Basetsana (9/2), Owlette (5/1), To The Max (8/1), Colorama (8/1), River Cafe (12/1), Space Oddity (14/1), Emaline (20/1), Ubiquitas (25/1), With Our Blessing (25/1), Absolutely Fab (25/1), Reginas Angel (33/1), Golden Archer (33/1)

OWLETTE has been operating at a solid level lately and is just about the pick. Absolutely Fab could emerge as the chief threat, while Colorama deserves some consideration as well.
