Forecasts

Arabian Red (11/8), Marshmallow (11/4), Querandi (5/1), Get It Done (6/1), Sky Velocity (10/1), Blue Palace (11/1), Canford Queen (12/1), Light Of Day (14/1), Take Your Time (40/1), Sundrop (50/1)

QUERANDI is operating at a good level lately and just about gets the nod in this company. Canford Queen is the most realistic next preference, while Arabian Red might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
