Forecasts

Ubisika (5/4), Path Of Choice (2/1), Pembroke (8/1), Timbavati River (12/1), Raising Quinn (12/1), Adios Amigos (16/1), On The Road Again (16/1), Absolu Noir (20/1), Let It Snow (28/1), Empire Blue (33/1), Give Us A Smile (33/1), Miss Tucker (50/1)

RAISING QUINN just about gets the nod but will need everything to fall right. Path Of Choice is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Ubisika might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
