Forecasts

Parmenion (11/4), Winter Waves (9/2), Giambattista (5/1), Fibonacci (11/2), Eddie The Mover (15/2), Lucky Dollar (17/2), Rugger Bugger (12/1), Count Marsh (14/1), Saipan (14/1), Forest Jump (22/1), Rafiki (25/1), White Cedar (28/1), Roy's July Magic (33/1)

WINTER WAVES has been operating at a solid level and seems the one they have to beat. Fibonacci could emerge as the main threat, while Lucky Dollar is one to bear in mind too.
