Forecasts

Puerto Plata (5/2), Kanimambo (4/1), Then In Focus (11/2), Catch The Tune (6/1), Jaspero (13/2), Downing Seven (8/1), Alado's Pride (12/1), Heknows (12/1), Euphoric (16/1), San Quintin (18/1), Crystal Maiden (22/1), Gold For Africa (28/1)

PUERTO PLATA just about gets the nod. Kanimambo should be thereabouts too, while Gold For Africa edges it as the selection for third.
