Forecasts

Below Deck (15/8), American Dream (7/2), Lady Luck (5/1), Absolu Noir (15/2), Fujisan (10/1), War Launch (10/1), King's Sailor (10/1), Globetonic (11/1), Strawberry Stinger (12/1), Axel Collins (16/1), Potent Captain (28/1), Mister Whistle (50/1)

LADY LUCK formwise is a fair way in front of these and shouldn't really be troubled. Below Deck makes most appeal among the remainder, while War Launch could also figure.
