Forecasts

The Inkosana (5/2), Green Sceptre (7/2), Celtic Rush (5/1), The Chosen One (5/1), Romeo's Magic (11/2), Cerulean Dancer (12/1), Parker Getrix (16/1), Azucar (18/1), Devilish Dancer (20/1), Skyfull (20/1), Treaty (22/1), Queen Britanna (25/1), Ashanti Sword (33/1)

ROMEO'S MAGIC makes most appeal. Parker Getrix is a danger, while Green Sceptre can hit the places.
