Forecasts

Samoa (11/4), Dancing Dora (7/2), Smashing (11/2), Commander Of All (6/1), Jet Cat (8/1), In The Ether (11/1), Pacific (11/1), Bregardt (12/1), Remains Of The Day (12/1), Tibetan Voyage (12/1), Phala Millions (22/1), Together Again (33/1), Perini Palace (33/1), Bridge Of Spies (66/1)

DANCING DORA is running creditably and should go well. Pacific is probably the biggest danger, while Samoa merits respect as well.
