Forecasts

New Orleans (3/1), Triptoroyalty (4/1), Casa Rosada (11/2), Winter Journey (7/1), Puff Of Smoke (8/1), Capriana (8/1), Grue Of Ice (10/1), Perfect Appeal (14/1), Not Now Pussycat (16/1), Gimme A Lullaby (18/1), Yata (18/1), Stormz Power (20/1)

PUFF OF SMOKE's recent starts have been likeable in general and she just about gets the nod in this field. Winter Journey has the best credentials of the rest, while New Orleans is in the running for a share of the minor money.
