Forecasts

Hierkommiebokkie (11/4), Golden Aspen (3/1), Heart Peaks (4/1), Duenna (11/2), Just Be Nice (11/2), Sunshine Day (6/1), Courageous (11/1), Sound Machine (14/1), Bonika (16/1), Primrose Path (22/1), Radu (40/1)

GOLDEN ASPEN is probably the safest recommendation but it promises to be touch and go. Heart Peaks seems best of the rest, while Courageous commands a second look as well.
