Forecasts

Mocha Frappe (1/1), Moola Man (10/3), Royal Edition (5/1), Festival Of Magic (5/1), Fushimi Inari (13/2), Majestic Palace (8/1), Viva De Janeiro (10/1), Sacambaya (10/1), Guy Alexander (22/1), Black Lightning (22/1)

FUSHIMI INARI is in decent form right now and is probably the one to beat. Mocha Frappe can't be ruled out of things either.
