Forecasts

Waz Wouter (2/1), Watch Tower (5/2), Admiral's Ransom (3/1), Batik (6/1), Kuznetsov (7/1), Gimme A Diamond (11/1), Green Falcon (14/1), Valyrian Sword (22/1), Callmemrgreenlight (28/1), Jaquar Cat (28/1), Absolu Noir (40/1)

WAZ WOUTER looks marginally the best of this bunch but has little room for error. Watch Tower is high up there among the rest, while Batik also commands a closer look.
