Forecasts

Strange Magic (11/4), Kwazzi's Lady (11/4), Elembee (3/1), Littlemarysunshine (9/2), Golden Spoon (5/1), Letha (5/1), Memorial Day (9/1), Speechmaker (10/1), Dancing Arabian (20/1), Scottadito (25/1), Fasinada (28/1), Super Secret (28/1)

ELEMBEE was the beaten market choice last time out, but is worth another chance. Littlemarysunshine is taken to chase the selection home, while Dancing Arabian demands respect as well.
