Forecasts

Trusova (13/8), Querari's Dream (4/1), Selukwe (15/2), Every Cloud (10/1), Send Me (10/1), Pongola (11/1), Future Saint (12/1), Few Dollars More (16/1), Political Party (16/1), Future Of Energy (16/1), Continentalexpress (18/1), Hiawatha Goldberg (25/1), Lady Canton (40/1)

EVERY CLOUD looks to have marginally the best credentials. Future Of Energy seems the most likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Political Party also requires a second look.
