Forecasts

One Smart Cookie (10/3), Rafeef's Choice (7/2), Lady Elliot (9/2), Lucrative (5/1), Emerald Green (13/2), Colorado Creek (8/1), Ayuwi Yuwi (11/1), Bosnay (12/1), Shanta's Pride (12/1), Vision To Achieve (20/1), Spirited Flight (28/1), Questo E Quello (50/1)

BOSNAY gets a narrow vote but hasn't much room for error. Rafeef's Choice is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Lucrative is another with the potential to figure.
