Forecasts

Law Of Success (11/4), Nettleton (10/3), Work Of Time (10/3), Virginia Beach (11/2), Women Of Fame (11/2), Virgin River (8/1), There She Goes (9/1), Happy Analia (14/1), National Star (18/1), Wings Of Nike (22/1), White Hills (25/1), Articuno (28/1)

LAW OF SUCCESS is just about the safest pick but hasn't much room for error. Work Of Time is probably the main danger, while Women Of Fame could go well too.
