Forecasts

Jerusalema Rain (8/11), Hluhluwe (7/2), Zoomie (6/1), Coastal Commander (12/1), Greeting My Master (14/1), Harajuku (14/1), Lexican Point (16/1), Le Legionnaire (20/1), Lily Of The Nile (28/1), Fibonacci (80/1)

JERUSALEMA RAIN looks marginally the pick of these but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Zoomie is the most prudent second choice, while Harajuku is the third candidate for the three.
