Forecasts

Sharapova (10/11), Legal Thriller (11/2), Pashtunwali (6/1), Swiss Walt (13/2), Grand Oasis (9/1), Notorix (10/1), Aspoestertjie (16/1), Million Reasons (18/1), Miss Shaivi (22/1), Samthewiseman (28/1), Pomo's Big Spender (28/1), Absolu Noir (40/1), Nikes Ray Of Light (50/1)

SHARAPOVA was beaten when prominent in the market last time, but still appeals as the most obvious option. Grand Oasis is hard to ignore in the search for second, while Swiss Walt also requires respect.
