Forecasts

El Dante (6/4), Riccardo (10/3), Teichman (4/1), Congo Compaq (5/1), Arrow's Mark (6/1), Double Martini (7/1), Jazz Festival (15/2), Cherokee Trail (10/1), Action Time (14/1)

RICCARDO is running creditably and just about gets the nod in this company. Arrow's Mark could have the most to offer of the remainder, while Teichman shouldn't be far away.
