Forecasts

Legal Thriller (5/2), William The First (7/2), Meetatthewindsor (9/2), Arividicio (15/2), Get It Done (8/1), Fujisan (12/1), Reach Forthe Stars (12/1), Run The World (12/1), Roll Of The Dice (16/1), Euphoric (16/1), Always Shining (20/1), Erimitage (22/1)

GET IT DONE looks marginally the best of these. Arividicio is another who should take a hand, while Reach Forthe Stars also requires a closer look.
