Metar (4/1), Peut Etre Moi (9/2), Hang Out The Stars (9/2), Just Before Dawn (11/2), Estimated (6/1), Official Secret (6/1), Summer Night City (15/2), Lucy The Pink (11/1), Sunlit From Heaven (16/1), Cruizin California (25/1)

METAR failed to justify market expectations last time out, but looks worth trusting this time. Official Secret is the next best alternative, while Just Before Dawn also commands a closer look.
