Forecasts

Red Roses Too (2/1), Love Bomb (5/2), Fort J'adore (4/1), Aspoestertjie (4/1), Aisling (8/1), Electra Green (8/1), Contra Fiscum (10/1), Miss Arlberg (11/1), African Folklore (33/1)

AISLING just about gets the nod in this company. Aspoestertjie is probably the main threat, while Love Bomb is the tentative selection for third.
