Forecasts

Mia Moo (11/8), Say It Loud (9/4), Salenio Peninsula (11/4), Force Eight (6/1), Calantha (6/1), Bosum Buddy (8/1), Saigon Suzie (20/1)

MIA MOO is selected tentatively but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Bosum Buddy is feared most, while Force Eight is another to come into the reckoning.
