Forecasts

Got The Fever (9/4), La Vida Loca (9/4), Glorious Butterfly (3/1), Dee Day (5/1), Promise Of Fire (7/1), I Won't Give Up (12/1), Sheezarocket (16/1), Magic Maverick (28/1), Seeking Space (33/1), Seattle Rain (50/1), Princess Charmer (50/1)

GOT THE FEVER can give all these something to think about but it promises to be touch and go. Glorious Butterfly could provide the biggest competition, while La Vida Loca might well have a say too.
