Forecasts

Viva De Janeiro (15/8), Full Go (5/1), His Master's Voice (13/2), Kakiebos (13/2), Ideal Future (7/1), Guy Alexander (7/1), Red Knot (12/1), Gilda Gray (16/1), Fifth Of July (16/1), Coromandel (18/1), Summerland (18/1), Fiery Cliffs (28/1)

IDEAL FUTURE is in good heart right now and is probably the one to beat. Kakiebos could be dangerous, while Guy Alexander commands a closer look as well.
