Forecasts

Pomodoro's Jet (5/2), Rosh Kedesh (7/2), Future Turn (7/2), Carriacou (5/1), Tamarisk Tree (6/1), Promettere (13/2), Nevada King (9/1), Night Ruler (12/1), Capsaicin (16/1)

NIGHT RULER is selected rather gingerly but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Pomodoro's Jet is difficult to ignore where second place is concerned, while Carriacou also merits respect.
