Forecasts

Puerto Manzano (8/13), Electric Gold (4/1), Red Saxon (8/1), Second Base (11/1), Total Protection (16/1), Marigold Hotel (18/1)

Verdict

MARIGOLD HOTEL is operating at a solid level lately and just about gets the nod in this company. Puerto Manzano seems sure to be snapping at the selection's heels, while Red Saxon also requires scrutiny.
