Forecasts

The Queen Bee (3/1), Aspoestertjie (7/2), Colorado Creek (9/2), Hot Lava (9/2), Purple Flower (5/1), Pink Diamond (13/2), Perfect Trust (8/1), Edge Of Tomorrow (8/1), Rowins Dream (28/1), Roy's T's (50/1)

THE QUEEN BEE is the tentative selection but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Pink Diamond should be right in the mix too, while Hot Lava looks best of the others.
