Forecasts

Lunarcam (3/1), Pray For Rain (10/3), Donquerari (4/1), Luhamba Phambili (13/2), Shipholia (15/2), Captain Bombshell (15/2), Cold Shine (8/1), Twenty One May (14/1), Captain's Christy (22/1), Kaygee's Delight (33/1)

DONQUERARI has put together a solid series of efforts lately and is just about the pick in this field. Luhamba Phambili is the obvious danger, while Pray For Rain can't be ruled out of it either.
