Forecasts

Timbavati River (3/1), On The Road Again (4/1), Life On Mars (9/2), Pembroke (11/2), El Romiachi (13/2), Wind Sock (8/1), Cruzador (14/1), Globetonic (14/1), Pashtunwali (14/1), Drop Of Time (22/1), Mister Whistle (25/1)

ON THE ROAD AGAIN is just about the safest pick but has little margin for error. Timbavati River is not one to underestimate all the same, while Drop Of Time also comes into the reckoning.
