Forecasts

Quixote (5/6), Launch Code (11/4), Donny Tee (5/1), Graduation Time (12/1), Chalcos (16/1), Heartlight (18/1), Mia Ragazza (22/1), Good Fortune (25/1), Royal Venus (33/1), Just Forever (66/1)

QUIXOTE looks the one to be with, albeit narrowly and will need to be firing on all cylinders. Launch Code could give the selection most to think about, while Good Fortune comes into calculations for minor honours first time out.
