Forecasts

Angelsea (6/5), State Of Mind (8/1), Eclair (17/2), Badrah (10/1), Teardrop (10/1), Nkalanzinzi (10/1), Splash Of Green (11/1), Opera Swing (12/1), Saint Anastasia (12/1), Iqembulabesifazane (14/1), Echoes Of Winter (33/1), Wintertime (40/1), Che Vincera (50/1), Just Power (50/1)

ANGELSEA continues to operate somewhere near current peak and will probably take the beating. State Of Mind could provide the main danger, while Badrah should go well too.
