Forecasts

Anuschka's World (7/4), Forest Spy (4/1), Golden Link (9/2), Ubisika (9/2), Son Of Zeus (6/1), Cool Winter (13/2), Whatever Next (10/1), Prophet (18/1), Great Melody (25/1), Idita (40/1)

COOL WINTER ran well on the polytrack here last time and gets the nod. Whatever Next is the danger, while Anuschka's World is not out of it either.
