Forecasts

Captain's Ransom (1/5), Happy Chance (4/1), Gimme's Lassie (9/1), Live My Life (16/1), Going Up (20/1), Santa Maria (20/1), Gimme Dat (25/1)

LIVE MY LIFE continues to run creditably and gets the vote. Captain's Ransom could provide the chief opposition, while Going Up deserves respect as well.
