Forecasts

Mighty Goddess (9/4), Frances Ethel (9/4), One Religion (3/1), Courageous (10/3), October Fair (7/1), Woodland Glade (7/1), Have A Party (14/1), Silver Hunt (14/1), Primrose Path (16/1), Angel's Wish (25/1)

COURAGEOUS is selected rather gingerly but will need to be on song. Mighty Goddess seemingly poses the biggest danger, while Woodland Glade also merits respect.
