Forecasts

El Dante (10/3), Passage Of Power (10/3), Beyondtheboundary (9/2), Nelson Bay (5/1), Lord Wylie (7/1), Imposing (17/2), Southern Skies (9/1), Ralph The Rascal (11/1), Secret Is Ours (20/1), Turbo Boost (25/1), Lucretius (25/1)

NELSON BAY has fewer question marks about him than the others but it's competitive stuff. El Dante has the strongest claims of the remainder, while Beyondtheboundary deserves some consideration as well.
