Forecasts

Caitlyns Boy (9/4), Cruzador (10/3), El Romiachi (6/1), Rosa Dourada (13/2), On The Road Again (7/1), Eyjafjallajokull (8/1), Prince Vihaan (11/1), Kuznetsov (18/1), Daleel (20/1), Sand Bank (25/1), Razor Red (25/1)

KUZNETSOV has it in him to go well. On The Road Again is a danger, while El Romiachi might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
