Forecasts

Midnight Stroll (1/1), Azaleas For All (9/2), Whirlybird (5/1), Wilkies (5/1), Sugary Sweet (14/1), One Fell Swoop (16/1), Punta Alta (20/1), Raining Rubies (25/1), Someday Maybe (25/1), Inner Sense (28/1), Naka Island (33/1), Heartlight (40/1), Flying Broomstick (50/1), Lorna Lilly (50/1)

WHIRLYBIRD is just about the pick in this line up and has a fair chance. Azaleas For All is the danger, while Midnight Stroll deserves respect as well.
