Forecasts

On The Horizon (10/11), Street Art (4/1), Twin Turbo (6/1), George Handel (8/1), Kwazzi's Lady (12/1), Bellevarde (12/1), Millahue (12/1), Youcanthurrylove (14/1), Magical Flight (20/1), Winter Tango (40/1), Secret Is Ours (50/1)

ON THE HORIZON looks to have marginally the best credentials but others can't be discounted. Street Art is most likely the chief opposition, while Magical Flight is another that merits respect.
