Forecasts

Wild Intent (10/11), Safe Space (7/2), Futurewolff (8/1), Guy Alexander (17/2), Luthuli (9/1), Black Lightning (12/1), Japanese Maple (18/1), Romeo's Magic (20/1), Flamboyant Flyer (28/1)

WILD INTENT gets the vote. Safe Space also comes into the equation, while Futurewolff could well have a say too.
