Forecasts

Lushozi Shoop (1/1), Laetitia's Angel (2/1), Whatyouwaitingfor (3/1), There She Goes (4/1), Samoa (5/1), Lollapalooza (15/2), Splendid Season (10/1), Mix The Magic (16/1), Feather The Nest (16/1), Welcome Breeze (20/1), Sacred Valley (28/1), Rio's Kiss (33/1)

WELCOME BREEZE is holding her form well and will probably take the beating. Samoa is taken for the forecast, while Laetitia's Angel has a good shout of a share of the minor money.
