Forecasts

Last Storm (6/5), Copernicus (7/2), Vuvuzela Umlilo (4/1), Imperial Winter (11/2), The Last Belle (12/1), Coup Royal (12/1), Greek Mafia (20/1), Western Jack (20/1), Sunset Reaper (25/1)

IMPERIAL WINTER won't need to be up to much to take this first time out and looks the one to go along with. Last Storm might be the answer to second spot, while Copernicus also comes into calculations.
